Information, not advice. This is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Verify the current rules with a qualified local professional and the official regulator before acting.
How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of 26 June 2026, BingX is still reachable by residents of France, but it does not appear on the authorised list kept by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), and it holds no licence under the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework. The AMF has set a deadline of 30 June 2026 for crypto firms to be authorised, and from 1 July 2026 platforms without a MiCA licence are expected to stop serving French residents. Treat continued access as uncertain and confirm the current position with the AMF before acting.
Availability for French residents
As of 26 June 2026, BingX is still reachable by residents of France, but its standing is unsettled. The French regulator is the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), which authorises crypto firms and keeps public lists of authorised providers. BingX does not appear on the AMF list of authorised providers at the time of writing.
Across the European Economic Area, crypto platforms are expected to operate under the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, either through a national authorisation or by passporting a licence held in another member state. The AMF has said that crypto firms operating in France must secure full MiCA authorisation by 30 June 2026 or leave the market, and that from 1 July 2026 only authorised providers may serve clients. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has told unlicensed firms to wind down their activity in the European Union.
Because BingX is not on the AMF authorised list and holds no MiCA licence at the time of writing, its ability to serve French residents after the deadline is in doubt. Platforms without authorisation are expected to stop onboarding new clients, stop marketing, and limit activity to helping existing users withdraw or close positions. Treat the platform as available with limits and verify the current position with the AMF before acting.
Access, verification, and products
BingX is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf. Where access is available, French users complete identity verification, known as know your customer or KYC, before trading, and anti money laundering checks apply. The platform is known for copy trading, alongside spot and derivatives products.
Because BingX is unlicensed in the European Economic Area and the MiCA deadline is close, new sign ups and certain products may be restricted for French users, and access could be withdrawn. Confirm what is offered on the platform itself and treat the authorisation position as the main open question.
How crypto is taxed in France
Crypto is taxed in France, with oversight from the Direction générale des finances publiques (DGFiP). In general terms, occasional gains on disposals by individuals are taxed under a flat rate regime, while frequent or professional activity can be taxed differently, and reporting of foreign accounts can apply. Because the rules depend on personal circumstances, confirm the current treatment with the DGFiP or a qualified French adviser (as of 26 June 2026).
