According to Bitcoin News on X, Bull Bitcoin and Paymium had requested the court to suspend Decree No. 2025-1276 issued on December 19, 2025. The September 14 ruling stated that the privacy harm was insufficient to justify an emergency suspension, and that the likelihood of a data breach was "extremely low."
Odaily News: France's Conseil d'État, the country's top administrative court, has rejected an emergency application filed by crypto companies Bull Bitcoin and Paymium, refusing to immediately suspend the enforcement of the French decree implementing the EU's Eighth Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8).The applicants argued that centralized collection of personal and financial data of digital asset users could expose them to risks of data breaches, extortion, and physical safety threats. The court held that the applicants failed to demonstrate the existence of an urgent situation sufficient to justify an emergency suspension.Bull Bitcoin's lawsuit seeking a full annulment of the decree is still pending. DAC8 took effect in the EU on January 1, 2026, and registered service providers must complete their first reporting for the 2026 fiscal year by September 30, 2027. (Bitcoin.com News)
