According to Bitcoin News, the French Senate has passed the 2025 budget, which includes a tax on "non productive wealth" of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The tax will be levied annually on unrealized gains from cryptocurrency assets, meaning that even if cryptocurrency holders do not sell their assets, they will still be taxed. The proposal is currently awaiting a vote in the National Assembly.
