French Regulator to Strip Automata France SAS of Crypto License by June 2026

Market Impact

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 — France’s financial watchdog, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), has ordered the removal of Automata France SAS’s registration as a digital asset service provider (PSAN) by June 30, 2026, effective immediately. The decision, approved by the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR) on May 7, 2026, follows allegations that the firm operated crowdfunding activities without required licenses, violating integrity and competency standards for its executives and major shareholders.

The AMF has set the June 30, 2026 deadline to allow for an orderly wind-down of Automata France SAS’s operations. The company must now restrict its activities to essential services for liquidation and return clients’ access to digital assets promptly. The regulator is monitoring the process to ensure investor protection remains the priority.

Automata France SAS, which operates via the platform Vancelian.com, is required to publicly announce its deregistration, remove AMF registration references from its website, and complete its orderly cessation plan by the deadline. The AMF emphasized that its actions aim to uphold financial stability and market integrity, aligning with its broader mandate to protect savings, ensure transparent financial information, and combat financial misconduct.

Details not yet available on potential impacts for Malaysian investors or local crypto exchanges. The AMF’s decision reflects growing regulatory scrutiny over digital asset service providers in Europe, where compliance with licensing and operational standards has tightened in recent years.
