French authorities have initiated a judicial investigation into Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, over allegations of money laundering and other charges. The probe, which began on January 28, 2025, examines activities from 2019 to 2024, focusing on offenses committed in France and across the European Union. Binance has denied these allegations, asserting compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, according to Reuters.

The French National Assembly has enacted stricter licensing laws for new cryptocurrency firms. According to Cointelegraph, these laws require enhanced compliance with anti-money laundering rules, segregated customer funds, and detailed conflict-of-interest disclosures. Critics argue that such measures create unnecessary barriers for emerging crypto businesses and hinder innovation.

A user on X (formerly Twitter), known as Tom Nat0r—a cryptocurrency investor, AI enthusiast, and entrepreneur—expressed his views on the situation. "France should focus on addressing its crime rates before attempting to bring down crypto in every possible way," he said on January 28. Nat0r actively discusses market trends and digital finance online, often focusing on government intervention's impact on financial markets.
