The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) has issued a reminder to digital asset service providers in France to prepare for the upcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) compliance deadline. Eligible existing institutions can continue operations during a transition period until July 1, 2026, but must submit their MiCA authorization applications promptly, as the review process can take up to four months once all materials are complete. From July 1, 2026, only MiCA-authorized crypto asset service providers (CASPs) will be allowed to operate in France. Firms opting out must orderly cease operations by March 30, 2026, or face potential fines and legal consequences.
