French Minister Agrees on Measures to Protect Crypto Professionals After Kidnappings

After a string of high-profile abductions targeting crypto traders and entrepreneurs, France’s finance ministry finally moves to act. New security measures aim to shield industry players—better late than never for a government that still thinks Bitcoin is a passing fad.

The plan includes enhanced surveillance of high-risk transactions and panic-button protocols for OTC desks. Because nothing says ’secure’ like bureaucrats scrambling to regulate a problem they ignored until it made headlines.

One silver lining? At least the minister didn’t suggest ’just using banks instead’—this time.
