Selling Ethereum in France
Selling Ethereum in France follows the same capital gains framework as any other crypto-asset disposal: article 150 VH bis CGI for individuals.
Mechanics. Send ETH to a regulated platform, complete identity verification under MiCA and French AML rules, agree on the sell rate in euros, pick a payout. Network gas fees in ETH apply. Off-peak hours can reduce them. SEPA bank transfer is the default; SEPA Instant settles in seconds where supported.
French income tax. Under article 150 VH bis CGI, capital gains from occasional crypto disposals are generally subject to the PFU at a rate of 30%. ETH staking rewards and DeFi yields generate income events that may be treated as non-commercial profits (BNC) or commercial profits (BIC) depending on activity pattern; treatment continues to develop as French tax authorities refine guidance. The disposal gain is calculated under article 150 VH bis. This is general information, not tax advice.
Regulatory framework. AMF supervises crypto-asset service providers in France under the PSAN regime transitioning to MiCA authorisation. MiCA applies EU-wide since December 2024. Banxa Europe IV BV (EUIV) services French customers under MiCA.
If your ETH is staked through Lido or Rocket Pool, you can sell the liquid staking tokens (stETH, rETH) directly without unstaking, although they are separate digital assets at slightly different prices. Direct unstaking from Ethereum's consensus layer goes through a withdrawal queue.
Important information for retail customers in the EU. Crypto-assets are not deposits and are not covered by deposit-guarantee schemes. Authorisation of crypto-asset service providers under MiCA does not constitute an investor-compensation scheme and does not protect against price losses. Crypto prices can fall sharply, including to zero in some assets, and you can lose the full amount invested. Settlement of any sell order depends on identity verification, payment processing, and blockchain confirmation. The tax information on this page is general only and is not tax advice; rules depend on individual circumstances and may change. The Dutch financial markets authority (AFM) publishes consumer-facing information on crypto-asset risks for EU retail clients.
