EU MiCA JURISDICTIONS · FRANCE · LAST UPDATED
MiCA-authorised crypto exchanges in France
France's national competent authority for MiCA is the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF). This page lists every Crypto-Asset Service Provider authorised in France and explains how MiCA applies to France residents.
Which authority issues MiCA authorisations in France?
France ran one of the EU's earliest national crypto regimes, the PACTE Law DASP (Digital Asset Service Provider) registration, which gave the AMF years of pre-MiCA supervisory experience. The AMF began granting MiCA CASP authorisations in 2025-2026 and also maintains a public white list of CASPs passporting into France from other EEA states. BlockNodes SAS, the French entity behind the SwissBorg consumer brand, received its direct MiCA authorisation from the AMF in March 2026.

What is MiCA in France?
France ran one of the EU's earliest national crypto regimes, the PACTE Law DASP (Digital Asset Service Provider) registration, which gave the AMF years of pre-MiCA supervisory experience. The AMF began granting MiCA CASP authorisations in 2025-2026 and also maintains a public white list of CASPs passporting into France from other EEA states. BlockNodes SAS, the French entity behind the SwissBorg consumer brand, received its direct MiCA authorisation from the AMF in March 2026. The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), formally Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, came into force across the EU in June 2023 and has been progressively applied since then. From , providers of crypto-asset services to residents of France must hold a MiCA authorisation from Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) or another EEA national competent authority, or operate under the passporting regime from a CASP authorised elsewhere in the EEA.
How does the MiCA passporting regime work for France residents?
Any CASP authorised by an EEA national competent authority can offer services to residents of France without needing a separate France authorisation. The home-state regulator (where the entity holds its primary authorisation) remains primarily responsible for ongoing supervision. The host-state regulator (Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) in the case of France) receives a passporting notification and can take action under MiCA Title V if domestic consumer protection issues arise.
What if my exchange is not authorised under MiCA?
From , providers offering crypto-asset services to residents of France without MiCA authorisation are in breach of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. Existing customers typically retain the ability to withdraw assets, but new deposits, trading, or onboarding may stop. Each exchange communicates its own transition plan ahead of that date.
