The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) has announced its adherence to the European Banking Authority's (EBA) guidelines on restrictive measures for crypto-asset service providers, aimed at combating money laundering and terrorism financing. This announcement was made in a press release dated April 11.

According to the AMF, these guidelines align with Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 (TFR II) and are designed to ensure that crypto-asset service providers implement appropriate internal policies, procedures, and controls. The focus is on compliance with EU and national restrictive measures, including freezing funds, imposing financial sanctions, and overseeing fund transfers to prevent illicit activities.

The AMF said that its position, DOC-2025-02, will take effect from December 30, 2025. It will govern how the AMF supervises crypto-asset providers within its jurisdiction. These guidelines also extend to digital asset service providers operating under transitional provisions from the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, which will expire on July 1, 2026.
