According to ChainCatcher, the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) has reported that nearly one-third of cryptocurrency companies operating in France without an EU license have yet to inform regulators whether they plan to apply for a license or cease operations by July. Currently, among approximately 90 registered crypto firms lacking MiCA authorization, 30% have applied for a license, 40% have explicitly stated they will not apply, and the remaining 30% have not disclosed their plans. The transitional period for crypto regulation in France is set to conclude on June 30, with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) requiring unauthorized companies to establish or implement an orderly exit strategy before the deadline.
