Crypto Industry News:

According to media reports, France will attempt to convince the other EU Member States to adopt similar to its own rules on cryptocurrencies, according to Bruno Le Maire, French Minister of Economy and Finance. The new regulations are supposed to attract cryptocurrency issuers and traders to France, providing them with official recognition and at the same time taxing their profits. Under the newly adopted regulation, cryptocurrency operators will have to apply for certification that would allegedly allow authorities to verify who is behind the issuance of a new coin or trading platform, as well as oversee enterprise plans and anti-money laundering (AML).
