French lawmakers pass bill to impose stricter licensing rules on cryptocurrency firms in line with proposed EU standards. The bill received 109 votes in favor and 71 against in the French National Assembly and has already passed the Senate. If signed into law by President Emmanuel Macron, the new legislation will require French-based cryptocurrency service providers to comply with stricter anti-money laundering rules and disclose more detailed risk and conflict of interest information. However, the new rules will not apply to the 60 crypto firms registered with the Financial Markets Authority (AMF). The new rules would only apply to crypto firms that register from July onwards. The legislation was initiated by a member of the French Senate's finance commission in December 2021.
