France Eases Retail Crypto ETN Rules in European Policy Alignment
France's AMF regulator has removed warning label requirements for crypto ETNs marketed to retail investors, effective December 9. The policy shift mirrors recent moves by UK and Nordic regulators, creating a cohesive European framework for digital asset access.
The amended Position 2010-05 allows compliant products to bypass previous investor protection warnings. This change significantly expands the addressable market for firms like CoinShares International Limited, while French legislators concurrently debate Éric Ciotti's pro-crypto bill to integrate Bitcoin and stablecoins into national finance.
