These RTS aim to provide harmonized, proportionate implementation guidance, significantly impacting CDD processes and supervisory consistency across the EU, with underlying rules applying from 10 July 2027.[Source URL: https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/news/amf-invites-financial-market-participants-amlas-consultations-three-draft-amlcft-implementing#xts=607212&xtor=RSS-11&type=RSS]

Compliance impact
Urgency: High - These RTS operationalize core AMLR/AMLD6 mandates with July 2027 applicability, demanding immediate consultation input to influence final rules and 18-month lead time for system/process overhauls (e.g., CDD verification sources, harmonized transaction linking). Failure to engage risks non-compliant frameworks amid AMLA's push for EU-wide consistency, elevated direct supervision risks, and stricter enforcement; asset managers face acute challenges from intermediary distribution rules.[Source URL:...

- Industry responses submitted (e.g., GDF, Adan)
16 July 2025
- Summary of consultation responses published by ACPR and AMF
Suggested considerations
Monitor developments: Track ACPR/AMF Fintech Forum updates for potential voluntary certification pilots or EU harmonization under MiCA/pending DeFi rules.
Review internal practices: Align smart contract governance, audits, and change management with endorsed principles (e.g., third-party audits, risk-based recertification on material changes).
Enhance documentation: Prepare for possible protocol-level certification, including modular DeFi interactions and continuous on-chain monitoring.
Engage stakeholders: Participate in future consultations via industry groups like GDF or Adan to influence voluntary frameworks.
What changed
No binding regulatory changes are introduced; this is an exploratory summary confirming industry support for proposed principles on technical standards (security, governance, compliance), audit methods (third-party, self-certification), and regulatory avenues (preference for voluntary certification over mandatory). Respondents endorsed alignment with industry best practices, risk-based approaches, and proportionality, with calls for technologically neutral standards and continuous monitoring models.
Compliance impact
Urgency: Medium – This is not enforceable yet but previews potential mandatory certification in EU DeFi regulation, critical for firms scaling smart contract use to mitigate user risks and build trust; proactive alignment now avoids future retrofits, especially with MiCA's crypto focus.

AI Analysis
The French (AMF) and Italian (Consob) financial authorities have jointly proposed amendments to the EU's DLT Pilot Regime to increase its competitiveness and attract market participants.

Key dates
March 2023
- Pilot Regime became operational
April 9, 2025
- AMF and Consob formal proposals submitted
March 24, 2026 Deadline
- ESMA report deadline to European Commission on Pilot Regime functioning and recommendations
Q2 2026
- Expected European Commission report to Parliament and Council with recommendations on Pilot Regime extension, amendment, or permanent conversion
June 30, 2026
- End of MiCA transitional period; full crypto-asset regime implementation
Suggested considerations
*For Market Infrastructure Operators:
*Reassess Business Cases: Evaluate viability under revised €100 billion thresholds and expanded instrument eligibility
*Prepare Applications: Organizations previously excluded by €6 billion threshold should prepare authorization applications under new proportionality framework
*Monitor Commission Decisions: Track European Commission's response to ESMA report (expected Q2 2026) for final regulatory direction
*Compliance Documentation: Prepare operational and technical documentation demonstrating alignment with revised requirements
What changed
The proposed amendments address the Pilot Regime's limited uptake by introducing the following regulatory modifications:
Scope Expansion
Expand eligible financial instruments from current restrictions to all financial assets
Remove categorical limitations that previously restricted participation
Activity Thresholds
Raise activity thresholds from €6 billion to €100 billion
Introduce greater proportionality based on project scale, allowing smaller players simplified requirements
Operational Flexibility

AI Analysis
The ACPR and AMF have published findings from their 2024 Working Group on Smart Contract Certification in DeFi, launching a public consultation on February 3, 2025, to explore certification frameworks for smart contracts, focusing on standards, audits, and regulatory options. This matters as it signals proactive French regulatory preparation for potential EU-level DeFi rules under MiCA, aiming to enhance security, governance, and compliance without immediate mandates, while industry feedback favors voluntary schemes.
Key dates
2025 (TBD)
- Conclusions from consultation responses to be presented
February 3, 2025
- Working Group report published and public consultation launched
March 10, 2025
- Public consultation closed (per some reports; responses summarized afterward)

Participate/Review: DeFi/crypto firms should review the report and response summary; late participation may inform ongoing discussions (consultation closed).

Monitor Developments: Track ACPR/AMF updates and EU MiCA/DeFi harmonization; prepare for potential fast-track CASP licensing if using certified contracts.
Engage Stakeholders: Join ACPR-AMF Fintech Forum dialogues; implement AML/CFT enhancements for smart contract risks, as AMF/ACPR assess ongoing compliance.
What changed
No binding regulatory changes yet; this is exploratory work anticipating future regulation. The report proposes:
Standards for security, governance, and compliance across execution environments.
Audit frameworks including public authority, third-party auditors, or self-certification.
Regulatory avenues from voluntary certification to obligations, with proportionate approaches.
Consultation responses (summarized post-March 2025) confirmed support for technical standards and audits...
Compliance impact
Urgency: Medium. This is non-binding exploratory work with consultation closed, but it foreshadows potential mandatory smart contract certification in DeFi, aligning with MiCA's risk mitigation goals. Firms face low short-term risk but high long-term impact if voluntary standards evolve into obligations, especially amid DASP phase-out by July 2026 and EU harmonization needs; proactive adoption builds MiCA compliance edge.

Suggested considerations
Monitor and engage: Participate in AMF's ongoing DeFi discussions and tokenization consultations for asset managers; no mandatory actions from this summary alone.
MiCA compliance: DASPs must apply for CASP licenses or leverage exemptions (e.g., notify AMF with operational/AML details if regulated entities); ensure AML/CTF alignment with EBA/TFR "Travel Rule" extensions.
Assess decentralization: DeFi protocols should evaluate if they qualify as "sufficiently decentralized" to evade DASP rules; traditional firms notify AMF before crypto services.
Update policies: Incorporate AMF clarifications on DASP transitions (DOC-2019-23/24 updates) and prepare for 2026 priorities like DORA cybersecurity.
What changed
No immediate regulatory changes or new requirements are introduced; this is a non-binding summary of consultation feedback from July 2024, intended to inform future discussions rather than enact rules. It highlights stakeholder views on DeFi's challenges, such as decentralization's impact on traditional oversight, with the AMF planning continued ecosystem engagement to outline proportionate responses.
Compliance impact
Urgency: Medium - This consultation summary does not impose new obligations but underscores evolving DeFi scrutiny within MiCA's firm deadlines (e.g., June 2026 transition end), making it critical for crypto firms to align now to avoid sanctions like DASP withdrawals. It matters for maintaining competitiveness in France's innovation-friendly regime, especially with AMF's 2026 focus on MiCA convergence and tokenization.

This matters for compliance professionals as it signals intensifying scrutiny on DeFi platforms for investor protection, market integrity, and financial stability risks, potentially leading to harmonized rules that bridge traditional finance and crypto assets.

What changed
No immediate binding regulatory changes are introduced, as this is a consultation report tied to IOSCO's 2023 DeFi Recommendations and a 2025 Thematic Review assessing implementation progress. Key focuses include enhanced regulatory cooperation (Recommendation 11), addressing gaps in enforcement for Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs), and applying CDA Policy Recommendations to DeFi for risks like financial stability, investor protection, and market integrity. Progress is noted in legal frameworks, but challenges persist in cross-border cooperation and enforcement beyond CASPs.

Urgency: High – While not yet binding, the report underscores incomplete global implementation (e.g., enforcement gaps, regulatory arbitrage risks), with IOSCO/FSB calling for swift action amid 2025-2026 reviews. This matters as DeFi's growth amplifies systemic risks, prompting "same risk, same rule" enforcement; firms risk non-compliance fines, operational restrictions, or lost innovation opportunities without proactive alignment.

MAR Anti-money Laundering Pump-and-dump practice: market manipulation sanctioned by the Paris Tribunal Correctionnel
AI Analysis
The Paris Tribunal Correctionnel sanctioned a pump-and-dump market manipulation scheme, where perpetrators artificially inflated small-cap stock prices via social media hype before selling off, violating France's Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). This enforcement action by the AMF underscores aggressive judicial backing for anti-manipulation efforts, signaling heightened scrutiny on coordinated trading schemes, especially in illiquid assets. Compliance teams must prioritize surveillance enhancements to mitigate similar risks amid rising digital promotion tactics.
Key dates
30 December 2024
- MiCA mandatory licensing for CASPs; pre-registered PSANs enter 18-month transition
30 June 2026 Deadline
- End of PSAN transitional period; full MiCA authorization required, with AMF oversight on manipulation risks
Suggested considerations
Enhance market abuse surveillance systems to detect coordinated trading, unusual volume spikes, and social media-driven hype in small-cap/illiquid assets.
Implement staff training on recognizing pump-and-dump indicators, such as group chats luring investors with upside promises .
Review client communications policies to block manipulative promotions; report suspicions under MAR Article L.634-1 procedures .
For crypto firms, align with "enhanced" DASP registration and MiCA AML/CFT compliance to preempt manipulation sanctions .
Conduct internal audits of trading patterns and escalate to AMF if risks identified.
What changed
This is an enforcement decision rather than new legislation, reinforcing existing prohibitions under Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR) against market manipulation, including pump-and-dump tactics like false information dissemination and artificial price inflation . No novel regulatory requirements are introduced, but it exemplifies AMF's collaboration with courts for criminal sanctions, potentially increasing deterrence through public naming and fines. Related AMF General Regulation updates effective 30/06/2026 integrate MAR references and strengthen reporting of failings .
Compliance impact
Urgency: High - This case demonstrates swift judicial enforcement (Tribunal Correctionnel conviction), amplifying personal liability for individuals in manipulation schemes and pressuring firms to bolster pre-trade/post-trade surveillance. It matters amid MiCA deadlines, as unlicensed crypto operators risk exclusion post-2026, with pump-and-dump flagged as a key abuse vector . Non-compliance invites AMF inspections, fines, and reputational damage in a litigious environment.

Crypto-assets Innovation Fintech Journalists The AMF publishes a discussion paper on Decentralised Finance (DeFi)
AI Analysis
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), France's financial markets regulator, published a discussion paper on June 19, 2023, outlining preliminary thoughts on regulatory challenges posed by Decentralised Finance (DeFi) activities on crypto-assets, inviting stakeholder feedback by September 30, 2023. A summary of responses was released on July 10, 2024, highlighting key themes like defining DeFi, distinguishing protocol types, and applying a "same activity, same risk, same regulation" principle. This matters for compliance professionals as it signals AMF's intent to develop proportionate DeFi oversight, balancing innovation with investor protection, AML/CTF risks, and market integrity amid evolving EU frameworks like MiCA.
Key dates
June 19, 2023
- AMF publishes initial discussion paper on DeFi regulatory issues
September 30, 2023 Deadline
- Deadline for stakeholder contributions to the discussion paper
July 10, 2024
- AMF publishes summary of responses to the discussion paper
Suggested considerations
Submit feedback (past deadline): Stakeholders could contribute by September 30, 2023, to innovation@amf-france.org.
Monitor developments: Track AMF/ACPR follow-ups, including smart contract certification discussions.
Conduct internal assessments: Analyze DeFi exposures using IOSCO criteria—identify responsible persons, risks (operational, AML/CTF), interconnections with TradFi, and ensure disclosures/conflict management.
Enhance compliance programs: Prepare for proportionate rules on governance, cybersecurity, solvency, transparency; align with "same risk, same regulation" for DeFi-like activities.
Engage stakeholders: Participate in AMF ecosystem dialogues at French/EU/international levels.
What changed
This is a discussion paper and consultation, not binding legislation, so no immediate regulatory changes or requirements are imposed. Key discussion points include:
Defining DeFi based on decentralization criteria (e.g., automation, network architecture, governance, lack of single points of failure).
Distinguishing permissioned vs. permissionless protocols and public vs. private blockchains.
Regulatory approaches to smart contracts (e.g., certification, varying responsibilities), open-source code, and governance.
Urgency: Medium – This is non-binding consultation feedback without hard deadlines or rules, but it previews AMF's regulatory trajectory toward DeFi oversight, including AML/CTF enforcement and investor safeguards, amid MiCA rollout. It matters because DeFi's growth amplifies risks like pseudonymity-driven financial crime and market abuse, potentially triggering enforcement of existing laws; firms risk non-compliance if unprepared for "same risk, same regulation" application, especially with AMF's international push.
