The French government has now begun to investigate the cryptocurrency exchange <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bybit-launches-ethereum-euphoria-campaign-offering-tesla-cybertruck-and-usdt-eth-prizes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bybit</a> for possible regulatory violations. This comes regardless of reaching a worldwide user milestone of 20 million after five years of operation.
Regarding Bybit’s unlawful status in the region, the French financial regulatory authority, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (<a href="https://www.amf-france.org/fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AMF</a>), recently reminded retail investors. This continues the exchange’s persistent problems with complying with French regulations, which began with a blacklist action two years ago. Bybit has not yet met the legal criteria to register as a digital asset service provider (<a href="https://www.amf-france.org/en/professionals/fintech/my-relations-amf/obtain-dasp-authorisation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DASP</a>) in order to operate inside <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/frances-societe-generale-launches-euro-pegged-eurcv-stablecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">France</a>, as highlighted in the AMF’s warning.

As a response, Bybit reiterated its desire to adhere to local regulations while mentioning its prior plan to leave the French market in October 2023. Furthermore, the exchange highlighted its dedication to regulatory compliance by mentioning that it is now in talks with the AMF to get the required license. However, the AMF has threatened legal action to prohibit Bybit’s access inside France due to the absence of a formal registration, which makes its activities unlawful under French law.
By enforcing strict restrictions, the AMF aims to preserve public order and protect investors. Methods to safeguard individual investors, conduct assessments of corporate executives’ abilities and honesty, and halt the funding of terrorism and money laundering are all part of this list.
In light of the vulnerability of unregistered digital asset services, the AMF recommends that investors who use Bybit to be ready for unexpected service interruptions. Additionally, before investing in cryptocurrencies, the regulatory authority recommends that investors check its official website for its whitelist of registered DASPs.&nbsp;
