BFMTV reported that French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez promised to strengthen security for cryptocurrency-sector actors after a surge in violent incidents. Nuñez said 77 cases of sequestration, kidnapping, extortion or attempted attacks had been recorded since the start of 2026, making physical crypto violence the government’s immediate security concern.
The update affects crypto entrepreneurs, executives and exposed holders targeted by criminal networks. Nuñez said 200 people had been arrested either after attacks or in anticipation, while 724 beneficiaries were registered on immediate-identification platforms, making rapid police coordination a central part of the response.
The next point to watch is how the new plan is applied. Nuñez outlined three priorities: stronger intelligence sharing, a deeper partnership with Adan through an expert network and tighter operational coordination with foreign states where organizers may be located, so cross-border enforcement becomes the follow-up test.
