- French Assembly backs self-custody crypto disclosure proposal — this brief
France’s National Assembly has approved a proposal that would require taxpayers to disclose self-custodied cryptocurrency holdings worth at least €100,000, valued at approximately $112,000. The measure focuses on digital assets held directly rather than through centralized exchanges or custodial platforms, according to CoinEdition.
For affected taxpayers, approval could lead to additional reporting requirements when declaring annual taxes. The proposal has not yet completed the legislative process: it still needs final approval through France’s budget process before becoming law. Both CoinEdition and Cointelegraph identify that outstanding condition.
The two outlets corroborate the core facts: the reporting threshold is €100,000, or $112,000, and parliamentary approval is only an intermediate step. CoinEdition provides additional context about the assets covered and the potential effect on annual tax filings, while Cointelegraph emphasizes the measure’s budget-process hurdle. Neither report presents a conflicting figure or outcome.
The proposal targets a specific custody model rather than all cryptocurrency holdings. According to CoinEdition, the disclosure requirement would apply to self-custodied digital assets outside centralized exchanges and custodial platforms, placing reporting attention on holdings that may not be visible through an exchange account.
The broader market context is constructive but sentiment remains cautious. Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.76 trillion, with the overall market broadly higher; 
Bitcoin is up 3.49% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index is 34, indicating a “Fear” reading. The next decisive point for the French proposal is whether it clears the remaining budget approval process, while the market continues to trade independently of the parliamentary development.
