Many individuals have recently invested in crypto-assets, which are very risky and potentially profitable. Discover in this article our focus on the regulation of cryptocurrencies, the three reflexes to have before investing and the AMF blacklist of sites offering investments in crypto assets.
What regulations for cryptocurrency in France?
Since the law of December 9, 2016 relating to transparency, the fight against corruption and the modernization of economic life, better known under the name “Sapin 2”, the financial markets authority (AMF) is responsible for regulate “miscellaneous goods” such as diamonds, rare earths, but also crypto-assets.
Concretely, how does this regulation manifest itself? The AMF, after checking the existence of sufficient guarantees on the quality of the intermediary and the operation, as well as on the balanced nature of the promotional documents (they must imperatively present the risks linked to this type of product and not only past performance, which, remember, does not prejudge future performance) decides whether or not to grant an authorization. Companies authorized to operate are also assigned a registration number by the market policeman.
With the Pacte law, a new specific regime has been put in place to regulate Digital Asset Service Providers (PSAN) bringing together all “financial intermediaries who offer different services relating to investment in crypto-assets” which, specifies ‘AMF, in order to be able to offer crypto-asset custody services or access to crypto-assets or the purchase/sale of crypto-assets against legal tender currencies, must be registered with the AMF which ensures the reliability of the service provider. Since December 2020, any unregistered actor risks appearing on the AMF blacklists.
Optional approval can also be requested from the AMF, which allows you to approach new clients.
Virtual currency: 3 reflexes to have before investing
Find out about the online broker
First of all, check that the financial intermediary with whom you wish to operate is not on the AMF blacklist below and that it is referenced, authorized and therefore registered by the AMF. Please note, just because the broker is not on this list does not mean that it is reliable. It will also be appropriate to obtain as much information as possible about this company (legal status, head office, financial strength, etc.). Finally, even if the site does not appear on the AMF’s blacklist of unauthorized cryptoasset sites, check that it appears in Regafi’s records. If this is not the case, avoid dealing with this provider.
Please note, we alert our readers to the fact that certain brokers pride themselves on not appearing in the AMF blacklist republished on our site (see below) to convince you to open an account with them. Remember that this list is not exhaustive and evolves over time. Be wary of brokers who use this as an argument and refer above all to the broker’s registration in the register of financial agents (Regafi) and the AMF registration number.
Understand the technology on which cryptocurrency is based
Secondly, before investing in Bitcoin, Ether, or Ripple for example, it is important to fully understand the technology behind these virtual currencies. Not only should blockchain technology no longer hold any secrets for you, but you must also know the characteristics of the cryptoassets you wish to purchase and know their strengths and limitations.
Keep in mind that risk is present with virtual currencies
Finally, always keep in mind that authorization to operate by the AMF does not mean that the products offered by the intermediary are without risks. In the case of cryptocurrencies, the risk is real and significant. These are indeed extremely volatile assets. So invest money that you are willing to lose! Or at least that you don’t need. This will undoubtedly be more profitable and interesting than buying lotto tickets, but under no circumstances invest in such financial products the money you need to repay a mortgage or finance your children’s studies.
