France adopts crypto tax amendment for stablecoin swaps; considers exit tax and self‑custodial wallet rules

According to Cointelegraph, the French National Assembly approved an amendment that imposes a tax on certain stablecoin exchange transactions. The measure targets specific stablecoin swaps within the domestic market.

In addition to the swap tax, officials are reviewing proposals for an exit tax and rules governing self‑custodial wallets. These complementary measures aim to address regulatory gaps related to how users hold and transfer stablecoins.
