The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) issued a warning on September 24, 2026, regarding unauthorized actors offering investment opportunities in various assets, including crypto-assets. The AMF emphasizes the risks associated with investing in unregulated offerings and the need for investor vigilance.
The AMF's warning highlights the importance of compliance with regulatory standards under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Firms must operate under proper authorization to avoid association with unauthorized entities.
The warning specifically applies to crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and investment firms. These entities are urged to review their marketing and operational practices to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
The AMF did not specify a deadline for compliance actions but recommended immediate review to mitigate potential reputational risks. Firms should take action to ensure they are not promoting or facilitating investments in unauthorized offerings.
