France weighs exit tax on crypto holdings above €800,000
- —Exit tax would cover households with over €800,000 in crypto when they leave France
- —Self-custody wallets of €100,000 or more would have to be declared, fines up to €10,000
- —Measures would take effect on Jan. 1, 2027; rate and social charges remain unspecified
- —Amendments by Nicolas Sansu and Charles de Courson need fresh votes after budget setback
Why it matters: France could become the first EU state to tax unrealized crypto gains on relocation, raising pressure on large holders.
