Abstract:France’s AMF and ACPR have added 43 unregistered Forex and crypto websites to their 2025 alert list. Learn how to verify trading platforms and access official resources.

In a new update aimed at promoting market transparency, Frances Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) have published an expanded list of websites operating without the required authorization in France.
These entities are not registered with French regulators and are therefore not permitted to offer investment services involving Forex trading or crypto-asset derivatives in the French market.
So far this year, 30 websites related to the foreign exchange (Forex) market and 13 crypto-derivative platforms have been added to the list. Recent additions include:
Forex-related websites:
Crypto-derivatives websites:
The full list is available on the AMFs official website and ABEIS.
AMF and ACPR recommend that users verify the regulatory status of any service provider before using their platform. This can be done through:
These resources help individuals confirm whether a company is legally allowed to operate in France.
Regulators also note that not being listed does not always mean a platform is safe. New names continue to emerge, and vigilance remains essential. The aim of the updated list is to provide greater visibility into platforms that have already been identified as operating without proper authorization.
For further support or inquiries, individuals can contact the AMFs help desk or visit WikiFX to find additional resources about platform background, history, and user feedback.
