France's finance committee endorses a 2027 tax on stablecoin swaps and overseas crypto gains for households holding over €800,000.
France’s Finance Committee has voted to introduce a tax on stablecoin swaps, a move that will affect both institutional and retail participants in the crypto market.
The bill also proposes a levy on unrealized crypto gains for households whose net assets exceed €800,000 when they move abroad, aiming to curb tax evasion.

The regulation follows the European Union’s push for clearer crypto taxation rules and could signal a tightening of oversight in France’s digital asset sector.
