    On October 10, Decrypt reported that the Finance Committee of the French National Assembly approved two amendments related to cryptocurrency taxation this week: starting January 1, 2027, exchanges of stablecoins regulated under MiCA will be considered taxable sales; and an exit tax will be imposed on taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least six of the past ten years and have moved abroad with crypto assets totaling over 800,000 euros. On October 9, the committee voted 31 to 3 to reject the budget revenue portion, and the full National Assembly will review based on the government's original text.

The committee also passed an amendment allowing crypto asset losses to be carried forward for ten years to offset future gains.
