France’s National Assembly Backs Reporting Rule for Large Self-Custody Crypto Wallets

The claim has two parts, and both are materially supported. First, the National Assembly part is supported by the official Assemblée nationale page "Projet de loi, T.A. n° 263 - Assemblée nationale," which confirms an anti-fraud bill was adopted on 7 April 2026. Search results connected that adopted text to provisions on self-hosted digital-asset wallets above 5,000 euros. Secondary reporting in "France Advances Law Mandating Self Custody Funds' Disclosure," "Bank of France calls for tougher MiCA limits on stablecoin payments," and the PANews article consistently states that the adopted provision would require reporting of self-custody holdings above 5,000 euros and that it is not yet final law. Second, the stablecoin/MiCA part is directly supported by the official BIS-hosted speech "Denis Beau: Stablecoins - what strategic choices for Europe?" In that speech, Beau explicitly says French authorities are pressing for a strengthening of MiCA, particularly to restrict the use of stablecoins for everyday payments when they are backed by a currency other than the euro. That matches the claim's wording about renewed calls to curb non-euro stablecoin payments under MiCA. The main caveat is that the normalized fetch of the Assembly page did not surface the exact clause text in full, so the 5,000 euro detail is corroborated mainly by multiple secondary reports rather than fully visible in the fetched official page. Still, taken together, the evidence strongly supports the overall statement.
