The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) has announced new procedures for notifying the agency regarding public offerings and the admission to trading of crypto-assets. This follows the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). The announcement was made in a press release on March 6, 2025.

According to the AMF, offerors of crypto-assets, excluding asset-referenced and e-money tokens, are required to submit a white paper before public offerings or trading admissions under MiCA. If based in France or operating as a non-EU entity with activities in France, the offeror must notify the AMF at least 20 working days before publication. This notification should include specific documentation such as explanations on MiCAR applicability, host member states, and expected offering dates.

Modifications to white papers or marketing communications must be reported to the AMF at least seven working days before publication. Offerings within limited networks that exceed €1,000,000 over a 12-month period must also be disclosed with an explanation of their exemption from MiCAR’s Title II requirements.

The European Union states that MiCA establishes uniform rules for crypto-asset issuers and service providers not covered by existing EU laws. It aims to ensure transparency, consumer protection, and market stability with specific obligations for different types of crypto-assets, including e-money and asset-referenced tokens. The regulation became effective on December 30, 2024, and includes provisions on governance, disclosure, and preventing market abuse. Oversight is provided by EU authorities like the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

The AMF is an independent public authority in France responsible for overseeing financial markets, market participants, and investment products. It ensures that investors are informed and that markets operate orderly. The AMF also engages in regulatory development at both European and international levels, focusing on areas such as sustainable finance and digital changes' impact on the economy. It operates through two main bodies: the board and the enforcement committee. The agency works towards establishing consistent international standards in financial markets.
