Do You Pay Cryptocurrency Taxes in France?

Definition of Taxable Crypto Activities

In France, cryptocurrency is classified as a moveable asset (bien meuble), similar to stocks or bonds, and is subject to taxes when certain transactions occur. You have a legal obligation to pay taxes on your crypto gains or income in most circumstances, especially when:

  • Converting digital assets to fiat currency (such as euros)
  • Receiving rewards from mining activities
  • Generating non-commercial profits or professional income from regular trading

Let’s clarify the core scenarios:

Crypto Activity

Taxable Event?

Tax Treatment

Buying crypto with EUR or other fiatNoN/A
Trading crypto for another crypto (e.g., BTC→ETH)NoN/A
Holding (hodling) cryptoNoN/A
Transferring crypto between your own walletsNoN/A
Selling crypto for EUR/fiatYesCapital Gains Tax
Spending crypto (converting to fiat at point-of-sale)YesCapital Gains Tax
Mining rewardsYesNon-commercial profits
Staking or DeFi rewardsLikelyTaxed as income; seek advice
Gifting cryptoNo (for giver)Recipient taxed on sale

It’s important to note that not all crypto events are taxable. Simply holding coins, swapping between wallets you control, or trading between different digital assets (including NFTs or tokens), does not generate a tax obligation. Tax obligations primarily arise when you dispose of crypto for fiat or earn crypto as income from mining and, potentially, staking.

Occasional Investors vs Professional Traders

Your tax responsibilities also depend on whether you are classified as an “occasional investor” or a “professional trader.” Most French residents fall into the occasional investor category and pay tax under the Prélèvement Forfaitaire Unique (PFU) system. Only individuals displaying regular, high-volume activity, or professional-level trading patterns, are considered professional traders.

How Much Tax Do You Pay on Crypto in France?

Tax Structure for Crypto Investors

Micro-BNC scheme: If your annual turnover from crypto activities is less than €77,700, you benefit from a 34% allowance (only 66% of profits are taxable as BNC).

Tax-Free Allowances and Exemptions

Crypto gains totaling up to €305 per tax household, per year, are exempt from taxation. This annual exemption gives smaller investors some relief: if you sell or dispose of crypto for fiat and your total net gain for the year does not exceed this threshold, you owe no tax.

Example:

Suppose you sell Bitcoin and realize a €200 net gain in March, then sell some Ethereum in November for a €100 net gain. Your total gains for the year are €300. Since this is below the €305 limit, no tax is due.

How to Calculate Your Crypto Gains and Losses

The Portfolio Valuation Method (PVCT)

France mandates a specific calculation for capital gains on crypto assets, known as the Plus Values de Cessions d’Actifs Numeriques (PVCT method):

Taxable Gain = Sale Price – (Total Acquisition Costs x [Sale Price / Total Portfolio Value])

 

 

Breaking it down:

  • Sale Price (in EUR): The price at which you sold the crypto for fiat.
  • Total Acquisition Costs: What you originally paid for all crypto holdings, plus any allowable transaction fees.
  • Total Portfolio Value: The total EUR value of all your crypto at the time of sale.

Real-World Example

  • January: Buy 10 ETH for €15,000
  • April: Buy 1 BTC for €25,000
  • Portfolio value in July (time of sale): €60,000
  • July: Sell 1 ETH for €3,000

Calculation:

  • Fraction of ETH sold = €3,000 / €60,000 = 0.05
  • Pro-rated acquisition cost for ETH sold = €15,000 x 0.05 = €750
  • Taxable gain = €3,000 – €750 = €2,250

If you cannot provide documentation for your acquisition cost, the tax authority will assume it to be zero—leading to much higher taxable gains.

Crypto Tax on Mining, Staking, and DeFi Rewards

Mining

Mining rewards are considered non-commercial profits (BNC). If your annual turnover from mining is under €77,700, only 66% of that income is taxable due to the micro-BNC allowance. For higher volumes, you fall into the normal progressive tax regime.

Staking and DeFi

Currently, there is no official guidance from the French tax authority (DGFiP) on staking and DeFi rewards. However, such income could be considered similar to mining and taxed under the BNC regime. Because of the complexity, it’s recommended to consult a tax professional for large or frequent DeFi and staking rewards.

Spending Crypto

Using crypto online or via debit cards to buy goods or services is typically seen as a disposal event—just like selling for fiat. You must calculate the capital gain for each transaction.

Can the Dgfip (french Tax Authority) Track Crypto?

European Directives and Data Sharing

The Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFiP) possesses extensive powers to trace crypto activity, especially since the adoption of EU directives like the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive and DAC8. These laws make KYC (Know Your Customer) checks compulsory and facilitate information sharing between member states.

Automatic Reporting

  • French and EU-based exchanges must report customer identities and transaction records.
  • Non-EU platforms may also be compelled to disclose account information if requested.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Failure to declare your crypto activities or accounts can result in severe penalties:

Offense

Penalty

Not reporting foreign crypto account€750 per account; up to €1,500 if >€50,000 balance, capped at €10,000 per declaration
Evasion or deliberate under-reportingUp to 80% of tax due, €500,000 fine, and up to 5 years’ imprisonment

If you use foreign platforms, you must submit Formulaire 3916-bis for each account, even for “hot wallets” on non-French exchanges.

Real-World Analogy

Think of your crypto activities like bank accounts. The DGFiP, thanks to international cooperation, can see most of your balances—especially if you use major platforms or cross borders. Only genuinely private wallets kept wholly out of exchanges might escape notice, but hiding crypto is both illegal and risky.

How Is Crypto Taxed in France?

Overview of Tax Treatments

France’s approach is based on the concept of “disposal” for capital gains taxation:

Occasional Investors (Default Case for Most Users)

  • 30% flat tax (Prélèvement Forfaitaire Unique/PFU) applies when you sell crypto for fiat.
  • Composed of 12.8% income tax + 17.2% social security contributions.
  • Optionally, lower-income investors may waive the 12.8% fixed rate for the progressive income tax rate, which can lower the total tax if you fall below the 30% bracket.

Professional Traders

  • Regular, high-frequency traders are taxed as non-commercial profits (BNC) at income tax rates ranging from 0%–45%.
  • This regime only applies if your trading activity clearly resembles a professional business, e.g., using dedicated tools, large capital, or trading on behalf of clients.

Crypto Mining

  • Mining is always treated as BNC income (not capital gains).
  • Income taxed at progressive rates, with the micro-BNC regime applying for turnover up to €77,700.

Disposal Event Examples

Swapping BTC for ETHNot taxed
Sending BTC to your own hardware walletNot taxed
Selling ETH for EURTaxed (capital gain event)
Paying for a hotel with cryptoTaxed (capital gain event)

Reporting Requirements

You are required to keep detailed records for every transaction, even if it is not immediately taxable. Transaction data must be kept for at least five years and should include dates, amounts, values in euros, purpose, and counterparties.

France Income Tax Rate

France applies a progressive income tax rate to individuals. This impacts professional traders and those receiving mining or some types of staking income:

Annual Taxable Income (EUR)

Tax Rate

Up to 11,2940%
11,295 – 28,79711%
28,798 – 82,34130%
82,342 – 177,10641%
More than 177,10645%

For micro-BNC regime: Turnover below €77,700 sees a 34% deduction; only 66% of income is taxable.

Crypto Losses in France

Treatment of Losses

Losses realized on crypto can only offset gains made in the same tax year. You cannot roll crypto losses forward into future years or use them to offset other types of capital gains.

Example

  • January: Buy BTC for €10,000
  • June: Sell for €8,000 (loss of €2,000)
  • July: Sell separate ETH holdings for a €2,500 gain

Only €500 in capital gains are taxable for that year (€2,500 gain – €2,000 loss). If you do not realize any gains in the same tax year, your losses expire and cannot be claimed in future years.

Summary Table

Scenario

Can you offset?

Carry Forward Allowed?

Crypto loss with crypto gain (same year)YesNo
Crypto loss, no crypto gainNoNo

Defi Tax

Current Guidance

As of October 2025, France’s tax authority (DGFiP) has not issued definitive rules regarding decentralized finance (DeFi) activities, including liquidity pooling, lending, and borrowing protocols. In most cases:

  • Entering or exiting liquidity pools, swapping tokens, and engaging with smart contracts are not taxable until crypto is finally converted to fiat.
  • If you realize a gain (e.g., receive additional tokens as a reward), the gain generally becomes taxable only when you convert those assets for euros or other fiat currency.

Because DeFi is evolving fast and guidance may change, always check for the latest updates and consult a specialist for large or complex cases.

Frequently Asked Questions (faq)

What cryptocurrencies are subject to tax in France?

All cryptocurrencies, tokens, stablecoins, and digital assets are subject to tax in France when you dispose of them for fiat currency or, in some cases, receive them as compensation (e.g., mining, staking). This includes popular assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and all altcoins, as well as NFTs and DeFi protocol tokens. Tax is applicable regardless of the asset type; what matters is the taxable event.

How do I calculate my crypto tax liability?

Your crypto tax liability in France is calculated using the PVCT (portfolio method), which apportions your total acquisition cost proportionally when you dispose of part of your holdings. For selling crypto for fiat, the taxable gain is:

Taxable Gain = Sale Price – (Total Acquisition Costs × [Sale Price / Total Portfolio Value at Sale])

You owe 30% tax (PFU) on the taxable gain, with the first €305 of annual gains exempt per household.

What records should I keep for crypto taxes?

You must maintain thorough records for at least five years covering:

  • Dates and details of each transaction
  • Value in euros at the time of the event
  • Purpose and counterparty information
  • Documentation for cost basis and acquisition amounts
  • Any foreign account details for declarations

Organized and complete records help substantiate your tax positions and facilitate easier filing, especially if you’re a high-frequency trader or use multiple platforms.

When are crypto taxes due in France?

French taxes are reported for income and gains realized in the previous calendar year. For the 2024 tax year:

  • Tax filing opens around April 10, 2025.
  • Online filing deadlines: May 22 (departments 1–19 and non-residents), May 29 (departments 20–54), June 5 (departments 55–95 and overseas).
  • Late filing or errors can incur penalties, so always double-check your filings and monitor the calendar closely.

What happens if I don’t report crypto taxes?

Failing to declare taxable crypto activities or foreign platform accounts can lead to:

  • Fines ranging from €750 to €1,500 per undeclared account, rising to €10,000 capped per declaration
  • Increased penalties for large account balances
  • Liability for up to 80% of taxes owed, €500,000 in fines, and up to five years’ imprisonment in cases of tax fraud or evasion

Staying compliant protects you from severe consequences and ensures you can legally participate in the growing digital asset ecosystem.

Futures trading is a type of derivatives trading where participants agree to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined future price and date. In crypto, traders speculate on the future price of assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum without holding them.

Key advantages over spot trading include:

The ability to profit from both rising (long positions) and falling (short positions) markets.The use of financial leverage to control large positions with a smaller capital outlay.In 2026, perpetual futures contracts—which have no expiry date and use a funding rate mechanism to track spot prices—are the industry standard for retail traders.

How Crypto Futures Trading Work?

Trading futures requires an understanding of core mechanics. Traders open positions by depositing initial margin, which acts as collateral, not the full trade value.

Essential concepts include:

Leverage: A multiplier that increases both potential profits and losses (e.g., 10x leverage means a $100 margin controls a $1,000 position).Margin Requirements: Maintenance margin levels determine when a liquidation occurs if the trade moves against you.Funding Rates: Periodic payments exchanged between long and short traders to keep the perpetual contract price aligned with the spot market.

Mastering these mechanics is fundamental before engaging in futures markets.

Why Crypto Futures Trading Is Popular in 2026?

The growth of crypto futures is driven by market evolution and trader demand. Primary factors include:

Market Volatility: Creates frequent, high-potential trading opportunities.Hedging Capability: Allows spot portfolio holders to protect against downside risk.Capital Efficiency: Leverage enables greater market exposure with less capital.Short-Selling Access: Provides an easy way to profit from market declines without borrowing assets.

In bearish or ranging markets, futures often present more viable strategies than spot trading alone.

What Is Brevis (BREV) and How Does It Work?

When building decentralized applications (DApps), developers face two primary constraints: smart contracts cannot natively access historical blockchain data or information from external blockchains without introducing trusted oracles. Furthermore, executing complex computational tasks directly on mainnets like Ethereum is prohibitively expensive.

Brevis directly addresses these limitations of scalability and interoperability by introducing a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Coprocessor. Functioning like a GPU for a blockchain, Brevis operates as a co-processor, handling intensive data computation off-chain. This enables developers to create powerful, data-driven DApps that can securely utilize any on-chain data across multiple blockchains, all without adding new trust assumptions to their applications.

What Is Brevis (BREV)?

Brevis (BREV) is the native utility and governance asset of the Brevis network, designed to align incentives among all ecosystem participants.

Token Utility:

Proof Fees: Developers pay fees in BREV to request and verify proofs within the ProverNet system.Staking and Security: Network provers are required to stake BREV tokens as collateral. Malicious behavior or service failure can result in slashing, securing network integrity.Governance: Brevis (BREV) holders can participate in protocol governance, influencing parameters and future development.Future Gas Token: Upon migration to its dedicated rollup, BREV is slated to become the native gas token for the Brevis network.Brevis (BREV) Tokenomics

Brevis has a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) Brevis (BREV). The allocation strategy prioritizes long-term ecosystem growth and community engagement.

Token Allocation:

Ecosystem Growth: 37%Community Incentives: 32.20%Team: 20%Seed Investors: 10.80%How Does Brevis Work?

Brevis fundamentally separates computation from verification. It offloads heavy data-processing workloads from the main blockchain to its specialized environment. After processing, it returns a succinct cryptographic proof that verifiably attests to the correctness of the result, which the main chain can efficiently validate.

The ZK Coprocessor Model

Within this model, a smart contract on a main chain (such as Ethereum) submits a request for a specific computation or data query. Brevis's off-chain system processes this request and generates a Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP). This proof is then submitted back to the requesting contract. The contract can cryptographically verify the proof's validity in a fraction of the time and cost it would take to re-execute the computation, ensuring trustless correctness.

ProverNet

The operational core of Brevis is ProverNet, a decentralized network of participants who compete to generate proofs for computation requests. This marketplace ensures that proof generation remains decentralized, secure, and cost-efficient. Initially deployed on the Base blockchain, the architecture is designed for a future migration to a dedicated Brevis rollup, further optimizing performance and sovereignty.

Key Features of Brevis

Brevis enhances Web3 development through several key architectural innovations:

Omnichain Data Access: DApps can seamlessly query and utilize verified on-chain data from any supported blockchain. This unlocks novel use cases like cross-chain reputation systems, historical financial analysis, and sophisticated multi-chain DeFi strategies.Trust-Free Verification: By relying on mathematically verifiable ZK proofs, Brevis removes the need to trust any intermediary. The destination blockchain cryptographically verifies the proof's integrity, not the prover's reputation.High-Performance zkVM: The platform utilizes the Pico zkVM, engineered for high-speed proof generation. This efficiency is critical for supporting real-time DApps that require low-latency data processing.Conclusion

Brevis represents a pivotal advancement in modular blockchain infrastructure. By providing a ZK-powered coprocessor, it liberates smart contracts from their inherent data and computation limits. Developers gain the ability to build more intelligent, interconnected, and powerful DApps that can leverage the full breadth of blockchain data, all while maintaining the core tenets of security and decentralization.

Key TakeawaysThe variety of cryptocurrencies supported varies significantly among exchanges, shaped by their listing strategy, risk management, and regulatory stance.Platforms with extensive asset coverage provide early access to emerging tokens, while more selective exchanges prioritize high liquidity, regulatory compliance, and long-term project sustainability.A greater number of trading pairs expands investment options but may increase exposure to low-liquidity assets, underscoring the importance of investor due diligence.Among centralized exchanges, Bitget stands out with one of the widest selections of coins and tokens, combining competitive trading fees with a secure and robust trading environment.Why Do Crypto Exchanges Support Different Numbers of Coins and Tokens?

The disparity in listed cryptocurrencies among exchanges stems from differing listing policies, regulatory frameworks, and risk tolerance. Some platforms aim for rapid inclusion of new assets, while others emphasize liquidity depth, compliance, and project quality.

Key influences include:

Listing criteria: Expedited processes increase variety but may raise risks; stricter vetting limits availability.Regulatory compliance: Regional laws directly impact which assets can be offered.Liquidity management: Maintaining active markets for numerous tokens requires strong market-making.Strategic focus: Exchanges centered on altcoins typically list more assets, while conservative platforms prioritize stability.

WEEX Trade to Earn Phase 2: Trading Discipline and Risk Management in Uncertain Crypto Futures Markets

As 2026 begins, many traders are facing a familiar frustration: the market keeps moving, but clarity doesn’t. Short, volatile swings in Bitcoin and Ethereum put pressure even on experienced traders, often leading to hesitation, overtrading, or reactive decisions that undermine longer-term strategy.

In this environment, the real challenge isn’t just predicting market direction — it’s managing one’s own reactions. Emotional responses can magnify minor price movements, especially in leveraged futures trading. Consistency, however, is often overlooked.

This is where structured reinforcement becomes relevant. Initiatives such as WEEX Trade to Earn emphasize consistent participation, encouraging discipline without influencing individual trading decisions.

From Emotional Reaction to Risk Management

When markets lack clear direction, emotional reactions often step in. Left unchecked, they tend to influence execution rather than strategy, adding unnecessary friction in volatile conditions.

This is where risk management becomes essential — not as theory, but as a practical framework for maintaining consistency in uncertain markets. In crypto, volatility is inevitable, but disciplined risk management helps reduce emotional errors and support more stable execution over time.

Core principles include:

Setting realistic position sizes and stop-loss levelsDiversifying exposure across multiple assetsAvoiding impulsive trades driven by short-term price swings

A structured approach does not eliminate volatility, but it helps traders navigate it with greater discipline and consistency. How does this translate into real trading behavior during volatile moments?

Staying Calm in Volatile Markets: Real Scenarios

Consider a day when Bitcoin moves 3% within an hour. Traders reacting emotionally may exit positions too early or enter impulsively. If you’ve ever closed a trade, only to watch price move exactly as planned, this scenario likely feels familiar. Traders who stick to their plan, however, maintain execution discipline and avoid unnecessary losses.

In this context, programs that offer incremental recognition for consistent execution can serve as a subtle psychological buffer. By reinforcing measured decision-making, they support disciplined behavior without interfering with the underlying strategy.

This approach is particularly valuable for moderate leverage users or those exploring algorithmic strategies, where structured reinforcement helps reduce stress and maintain rational execution during short-term swings.

A Subtle Advantage: Trade to Earn Phase 2

Structured reinforcement can play a meaningful role in helping traders maintain discipline during volatile periods. By offering small, visible incentives tied to consistent execution, such mechanisms encourage steadier behavior and reduce the tendency to react impulsively to short-term market fluctuations.

One example of this approach is WEEX Trade to Earn Phase 2. The program does not alter trading strategies or risk exposure, but provides tiered recognition in WXT tokens for consistent futures participation — reinforcing disciplined execution without interfering with decision-making.

The value lies not in the reward itself, but in its psychological effect: supporting composure, confidence, and adherence to a well-defined trading plan during periods of market uncertainty.

Key Takeaways for Rational Trading

To navigate early 2026 markets more effectively:

Treat price swings as signals, not threatsAdhere to pre-defined risk limits and execution rulesSupport consistent execution through structured, participation-based mechanismsPrioritize long-term consistency over avoiding every short-term loss

These principles are increasingly reflected in exchange-level mechanisms that emphasize consistency and disciplined participation, rather than short-term risk-taking.

By combining sound strategy with emotional control, traders can navigate volatile conditions with greater clarity, resilience, and execution quality over time.

Conclusion: Consistency Over Reaction

In range-bound markets, consistency depends less on prediction and more on execution quality. Effective risk control and emotional discipline are essential — particularly in leveraged futures trading.

Mechanisms like WEEX Trade to Earn Phase 2 reinforce disciplined participation through structured recognition, supporting composure without altering strategy or increasing risk.

Over time, progress comes not from trading more, but from executing calmly, minimizing emotional errors, and allowing consistency to compound.

What is Bitcoin OTC and How to Buy BTC OTC With PKR on WEEX Exchange?

Bitcoin remains the cornerstone of the cryptocurrency market, prized by individual and institutional investors alike. For those looking to trade significant amounts of BTC with fiat currency, over-the-counter trading provides a powerful and efficient channel. This guide explains Bitcoin OTC crypto, details how an OTC desk works, and walks you through trading BTC with Pakistani Rupees (PKR) on the WEEX OTC platform.

What is the Bitcoin OTC Crypto?

Bitcoin OTC (Over-The-Counter) trading is the direct, private purchase or sale of BTC between two parties, facilitated outside of public exchange order books. These transactions are typically arranged through specialized brokers or dedicated OTC desks that connect large buyers and sellers directly.

The primary appeal of Bitcoin OTC trading is its ability to execute large-volume orders without causing adverse market movement. On a standard exchange, a substantial BTC buy order can create price slippage, increasing the average cost as the order fills. OTC trading eliminates this risk by allowing parties to agree on a fixed price privately. This ensures price certainty, minimizes market impact, and offers a higher degree of privacy, making it the method of choice for institutions, high-net-worth individuals, and funds managing sizable Bitcoin portfolios.

What is a Crypto OTC Trading Exchange?

A Crypto OTC trading exchange, often referred to as an OTC desk, is a specialized platform that facilitates private, bilateral transactions. Unlike public spot markets where prices are set by a visible order book, an OTC desk provides clients with a firm, fixed quote for their specific trade size, which does not fluctuate during execution.

This model offers three key strategic benefits. First, it serves as the fastest fiat on-ramp, enabling rapid conversion of traditional bank capital into crypto to capitalize on immediate market opportunities. Second, it guarantees zero slippage; the final execution price is locked in at the quote, protecting large orders from intra-second volatility. Third, robust OTC platforms support multi-currency and multi-payment infrastructures, seamlessly bridging local banking systems—like Pakistan's—with global digital asset liquidity for smooth cross-border settlements.

What is WEEX OTC Crypto Trading Exchange?
