France’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) announced on October 19 a list of websites that illegally offer crypto assets or crypto asset services in France, newly identified in the third quarter. The listed sites include alphaairobot.com, aureoncorevix.net, bitgrokapp.com, bitkelttrade.com, cryptobullbear.com, investpathline.com, and others. Since the start of 2026, AMF has added a total of 64 entries to this blacklist. The regulator noted that the list is updated regularly but is not exhaustive due to the continuous emergence of new unauthorised or fraudulent entities. The public can access the full blacklist via the "Espace épargnants > Protéger son épargne > Listes noires et mises en garde" section on AMF’s official website and the ABEIS website. They can also check the whitelist of authorised crypto asset service providers (PSCA) on AMF’s site to verify whether relevant institutions are permitted to operate in France.
