France Tightens AML Checks on Crypto Exchanges

The post France Tightens AML Checks on Crypto Exchanges appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

French regulators have stepped up anti-money laundering (AML) checks on many cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance. This effort began in late 2024 and is led by the ACPR and AMF. Their goal is to make sure these exchanges follow strict EU AML and counter-terrorism rules, especially with the new MiCA licensing rules coming. Binance is cooperating well and has been told to improve its risk and compliance teams. If these rules aren’t met, exchanges could face fines or lose their EU licenses by mid-2026. This shows France’s strong commitment to safer crypto markets.
