Monaco tables crypto-asset regulation bill in National Council
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
A new bill tabled on 6 August 2026 would bring Monaco's oversight of crypto-asset service providers into line with European regulatory standards.
The Prince's Government has submitted Bill No. 1131 to the National Council, setting out a formal regulatory framework for crypto-asset service providers operating in the Principality. The bill was tabled on 6 August 2026 and marks Monaco's most significant legislative move yet in the digital finance space.
The reform is designed to align Monégasque law with European regulations governing crypto-assets, reflecting international commitments the Principality has already made on financial security and compliance. The government has made clear that tightening oversight in this sector does not mean easing standards elsewhere: the bill is framed as an upgrade to existing financial rigour, not a departure from it.
For businesses and individuals using crypto-asset services in Monaco, the legislation would introduce clearer rules around authorisation, conduct and consumer protection. Property investors and high-net-worth residents who have begun integrating digital assets into their financial structures will be watching the National Council's deliberations closely in the months ahead.
