New French Pacte Law: The New 'Digital Assets Services Providers' ('DASP') Status In addition to the optional visa available to all issuers of Initial Coin Offerings, the French Pacte Law establishes a regulated status as a Digital Assets Service Provider or 'DASP'.
Legal Professionals' Key Involvement in the Escrow System for Funds Raised During an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) Following France's PACTE law a procedure for obtaining a visa for any public ICO has been provided for by the Financial Markets Authority (AMF), which requires issuers to set up a procedure to secure funds.
The Visa Delivered by the French Financial Regulator (AMF) to Issuers of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) The PACTE law introduced a specific regime for ICOs, providing for an optional approval/visa issued by the AMF. This new regime does not apply to STOs, but exclusively to the issuance of so-called "utility tokens".
