This article presents a comparison of the 10 best crypto platforms authorized to operate in France, all regulated under the European MiCA regulation which came into full effect on July 1, 2026. Since that date, only platforms holding a CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider) license can legally offer their services to French residents, replacing the former PSAN registration regime. Direct purchase fees vary significantly across platforms: from 0.15% at Finst to 2.39% at Meria, with offerings ranging from 50 to over 650 available cryptocurrencies. The ranking includes Kraken, Finst, Gate EU, Bitpanda, Bitvavo, eToro, Coinhouse, Trade Republic, OKX, Meria and SwissBorg. Users can verify each platform’s license on the ESMA public register and the AMF whitelist.
