Cryptocurrency platform Kraken is embarking on a tour across France to raise awareness and promote the use of cryptocurrencies among a wider audience.
Overview of Kraken's Crypto Tour in France
Founded in 2011, Kraken is heading to urban and rural areas of France to engage with local residents face to face. The idea is to provide information about cryptocurrencies without the complicated jargon and technical details. The firm will host workshops and events at community venues such as village halls and public libraries.
Statistics and Research on Cryptocurrency in France
According to a survey conducted in June 2025, 64% of non-holders in France plan to purchase cryptocurrencies, and 63% are willing to use them for payments. These findings highlight the growing interest in crypto-assets beyond major cities, including regions like Occitanie and Grand Est.
The Future of Cryptocurrencies Amid New Regulations
With the introduction of the MiCA regulation in the European Union, along with France's efforts to create a secure legal framework for cryptocurrency transactions, trust in cryptocurrency investments is expected to increase. The establishment of PSAN status in 2019 has positioned France as a leader in cryptocurrency regulation.
Kraken's tour across France marks an important step in the popularization of cryptocurrencies. With growing interest and new regulations in place, the future of crypto-assets in the country looks promising.
