-

France is also targeting self-custody crypto users. Lawmakers have advanced a proposal requiring individuals to report self-hosted wallets holding more than €5,000 annually to tax authorities.

Critics argue enforcement could be difficult and raise privacy and data security concerns, but regulators see it as a necessary step to combat fraud and improve oversight in a rapidly growing market.
