AMF Adds 16 New Websites to Crypto-Asset Blacklist Amid Ongoing Crackdown on Unauthorized Operators | LeapRate
France’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) has issued a fresh warning to the public, flagging a batch of websites offering crypto-asset services without proper authorization in the country.
According to the regulator, 38 names have been added to its blacklist since the start of 2026, with the latest update naming 16 newly identified unauthorized platforms. Among the entities cited are aurum.foundation, aurum-foundation.com, capstellar.fr, cryptover.org, darsvint.fr, gaveltrdltd.com, investproai.fr, ligne-stable.com/trade-gpt4, lyveroscentrix.com, mon-vaul.com, opti-nova.net, ouinex.com, pioneersxs.com, tiercefortange.com, vision-lonox-hex.net, and webtrader.aptos-ai.net.
The AMF emphasized that this list, while updated regularly, is not exhaustive, as new unauthorized actors continue to emerge in the crypto-asset space. The full blacklist can be accessed on the AMF’s website under the Warnings section, as well as through Assurance Banque Épargne Infoservice (ABEIS), a French consumer protection resource, under its scam prevention listings.
To help investors verify legitimacy, the AMF also maintains a “white list” of authorized crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) operating within France. Consumers are encouraged to check this list before engaging with any platform offering crypto-related products or services.
The move reflects continued regulatory vigilance in France as authorities work to protect retail investors from unlicensed and potentially fraudulent crypto operators amid the sector’s ongoing growth.
