Coinbase and Circle, two prominent players in the cryptocurrency industry, have both received regulatory approvals in France, marking a significant step in their European expansion. Coinbase has been granted a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) crypto license by France's Financial Markets Authority (AMF), allowing the company to operate crypto services in the country. This development comes as Coinbase seeks to deepen its presence in Europe, particularly amid its ongoing rift with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In a parallel move, Circle, known for its stablecoin platforms, has obtained a conditional Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) registration in France as part of its EU regulatory strategy. Circle's EU headquarters is based in France, and the company has also announced that Coralie Billmann has joined to head its French operations. The condition attached to Circle's registration is the acquisition of an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license, for which the company has already applied.
