Regulatory & Compliance Advisory for Cryptoasset Businesses in France
At ABM Global Compliance, we deliver specialist regulatory and compliance advisory services to help cryptoasset businesses make sense of these requirements, prepare for regulatory authorisation and sustain suitable compliance arrangements in France. At EU level, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) establishes a harmonised structure for cryptoasset service providers and relevant cryptoasset activities across the European Union.
Supporting MiCA Authorisation, Regulatory Readiness & Sustainable Crypto Compliance
France is one of Europe’s leading financial markets and has a well-established regulatory environment for cryptoasset and blockchain businesses. Firms entering or operating in the French market need to make sense of both French supervisory requirements and the European Union’s cryptoasset regulatory structure. Supporting stronger regulatory readiness and sustainable compliance.

Your Questions Answered
Who regulates crypto businesses in France?
The AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers) authorises and supervises Cryptoasset Service Providers under MiCA, with the ACPR opining on AML/CFT arrangements, alongside the Transfer of Funds Regulation and DORA.
Do crypto firms need MiCA authorisation?
Yes. Providing cryptoasset services in France requires CASP authorisation from the AMF covering the relevant service classes; firms registered under the earlier PSAN regime need full MiCA authorisation.
How long does authorisation take in France?
Most French authorisations run several months to a year from submission, plus preparation. Complete, well-evidenced applications with credible governance move through review meaningfully faster.
Do you support firms after authorisation?
Yes. Most of our work is ongoing: compliance monitoring, regulatory change management, policy updates, reporting support, independent reviews, and training throughout the supervisory relationship.
Are your services advisory only?
Yes, deliberately. ABM Global Compliance never operates regulated businesses or holds client funds. We build, strengthen, and review your compliance arrangements while you remain the regulated operator.
