The AMF provides regulation and protection in the French financial markets and it also ensures financial literacy among nvestors. The ACPR is an independent agency in France which monitors banks and insurance companies. Binance France will be able to operate in France with the DASP registration under the supervision of the two regulatory authorities.
Changpeng Zhao founder and CEO of Binance, commented:
Effective regulation is essential for the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency. The French DASP and AML/CFT regulations put in place stringent anti-money laundering and fit and proper requirements to meet the high standards necessary to be regulated in France.
Zhao added:
We are grateful to the AMF and ACPR, who demonstrated a commitment to innovation that made it possible for Binance to navigate the entire application process. Since day one, Binance has always put its users first, and now the crypto community can have even further confidence in Binance France as a trusted DASP registered in France.
