France's Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) published a public warning about several actors offering investments in unregulated foreign exchange (forex) and crypto-asset derivative products in France without authorisation, and updated their blacklists of identified websites. Since the start of 2026, the authorities have added 16 unauthorised sites to the forex category and 15 sites to the crypto-asset derivatives category. The blacklists are available via Assurance Banque Épargne Infoservice and on the AMF website, and the authorities note they are updated frequently but are not intended to be exhaustive. They also direct the public to verify a firm’s authorisation status via the relevant registers (including REGAFI and ORIAS) and to avoid responding to solicitations from intermediaries that do not appear on the official lists.
