France proposes exit tax on crypto holders moving abroad with €800K

  • —Exit tax threshold set at €800,000 in crypto holdings under article 167 bis of the tax code
  • —Crypto-to-stablecoin swaps would become taxable sales from January 1, 2027
  • —Crypto-to-crypto swaps with no cash component would not trigger the tax
  • —Realized crypto losses could be carried forward for up to 10 years
Why it matters: France may align crypto taxation with stocks, hitting high-net-worth holders and active stablecoin traders.
