Unlike existing capital gains taxes on sales, this proposal adds a layer of complexity by taxing unsold assets, a rare move globally.<\/p>\n<p>This development comes as Europe ramps up efforts to regulate crypto, balancing innovation with oversight. While France\u2019s bold step may set a precedent, it also raises concerns about driving investment out of the region.
