Crypto: Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi and market news

The crypto market now represents over $2.5 trillion in cumulative market cap, with Bitcoin accounting for 50-60% and Ethereum 15-20%. Since spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in the US in January 2024 (BlackRock IBIT, Fidelity FBTC...), the asset class has become institutional: it's no longer only retail buying — pension funds, family offices and listed companies (MicroStrategy, Tesla) are in too.

In Europe, the MiCA regulation in force since late 2024 imposes a clear framework on stablecoin issuers and service providers (PSAN in France, registered with the AMF). For users, French taxation remains at the 30% flat rate (PFU) for occasional gains, with a mandatory declaration of every foreign account via form 3916-bis.

ActuTrading Crypto covers major on-chain movements (ETF flows, whales), regulatory decisions (SEC, AMF, MiCA), technical catalysts (Bitcoin halving, Ethereum upgrades, dominances) and altcoin moves that reshape market cap rankings.

Frequently asked questions

How to legally buy crypto in France?+
Three options: (1) a PSAN-registered exchange with the AMF (Coinhouse, Bitpanda, registered Kraken), (2) a Bitcoin ETF in a standard brokerage account, (3) direct purchase on an international exchange + self-custody (hardware wallet Ledger, Trezor). In all cases, KYC and tax declaration are mandatory.
What's the French crypto tax in 2026?+
Occasional gains are taxed at the PFU flat rate of 30% (12.8% income tax + 17.2% social contributions). Professional traders (habitual activity, sophisticated techniques) are taxed as BIC under the progressive scale. You must declare every foreign account via form 3916-bis, even empty ones.
Bitcoin vs Ethereum, which should I choose?+
Bitcoin is primarily digital store of value (like gold), with supply capped at 21 million units. Ethereum is a platform hosting applications (DeFi, NFTs, stablecoins) and rewards holders via staking. Choice depends on profile: BTC = defensive long-term, ETH = Web3 ecosystem exposure.
What's a spot Bitcoin ETF?+
A fund listed on stock exchanges that actually buys and holds Bitcoin (unlike futures ETFs). Biggest ones: IBIT (BlackRock), FBTC (Fidelity), BITB (Bitwise). Accessible through a classic stock broker. Advantage: no wallet to manage, clear taxation.
How to avoid crypto scams?+
Three rules: (1) never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone, (2) verify PSAN/MiCA registration of the service on official AMF or ESMA databases, (3) be skeptical of yield promises above 10%/year — Ponzi schemes like OneCoin, BitConnect often hide behind seemingly reasonable numbers.
