France Considers Crypto Exit Tax on Unsold Gains Above €800,000

According to BeInCrypto, France is considering a tax on cryptocurrency holders who dispose of their holdings if unrealized gains exceed €800,000. The measure targets gains that remain unsold when an individual sells or transfers crypto assets. Lawmakers discussed the proposal during a debate held Tuesday.

The tax would apply only to amounts above the €800,000 threshold and concerns unsold appreciation—that is, gains not realized through sale at the time of disposition. The discussion took place among legislators evaluating regulatory options for digital asset taxation.
