France plans to relax rules on cryptocurrency trading for retail investors, following the UK's lead in making similar changes across the EU.

The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) will update its regulations to allow the sale of certain crypto investment products to retail investors. This follows the UK Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) plan to ease restrictions on retail investment in cryptocurrency ETNs. Since the ban was implemented in October 2025, this rule adjustment by the French AMF will, for the first time, allow retail marketing of crypto index ETNs and remove warning labels from eligible products.
