For Bitget users in France

Closing in France · 31 March 2026

Bitget is closing in France. Your crypto journey doesn’t have to stop.

Bitget’s own support notice confirms it is discontinuing all services for residents of France (and the French Overseas Territories) by 31 March 2026, citing its MiCA compliance process. If you still want a simple way to buy, hold and understand crypto, CryptoUnity can be your next step.

What’s happening with Bitget in France

Bitget’s own support notice says it is ending all services for French residents as part of its MiCA compliance process, following discussions with France’s Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) — which has listed Bitget on its unauthorised-platform warning list since November 2023. This closure is specific to France: Bitget separately paused new sign-ups for certain users in Germany, but hasn’t published anything about a similar full closure elsewhere in the EU.

Why CryptoUnity

Assets are held with regulated custodian BitGo.

Your crypto is held by BitGo, not by CryptoUnity.

Built for first-timers

Plain-language workshops and a calm, no-hype tone. No charts-and-candles pressure.

A dedicated EU team

Real people and human support, not a faceless global platform.

Two ways to bring your crypto over

Move your coins straight across, or take euros out and start fresh. Both are simple, so pick what suits you.

Pick the right network. This matters most.

If you move crypto on-chain rather than withdrawing to euros, the network you pick must match your CryptoUnity deposit address exactly. Always send a small test amount first — sending on the wrong network can mean your funds are lost for good.

Move your crypto directly

No deposit fee · keep your coins

Bring your coins straight over, no need to sell first. We don’t charge a deposit fee (only the blockchain’s own network fee applies).

  1. 1

    Get your deposit address

    In CryptoUnity, open the coin you want to receive and copy your address. Note which network it’s on.

  2. 2

    Send from your exchange

    Choose Withdraw / Send crypto, paste your CryptoUnity address, then select the matching network.

  3. 3

    Send a small test first

    Always send a tiny test amount first. Once it arrives, send the rest. A wrong network or address can mean lost funds.

  4. 4

    Done, nothing to pay us

    It lands in your CryptoUnity wallet. We don’t charge to receive it; only the network’s fee applies.

Moving crypto isn’t a sale, so you generally don’t realise a taxable gain the way selling to euros can. Still, check your local tax rules.

Or: sell to EUR and buy again

Simplest

Prefer to start clean? Take euros out, then fund CryptoUnity by bank transfer (SEPA).

  1. 1

    Withdraw to euros

    On your exchange, sell to euros and withdraw to your bank.

  2. 2

    Download CryptoUnity

    Get the app, then verify once. About 5–10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fund by SEPA

    Add euros from your bank, usually same-day in the EU.

  4. 4

    Start, guided

    Make a small first buy. You’ll start with 0% trading fees for 30 days.

Always send a small test transfer first and double-check the network. A wrong network or address can mean lost funds.

Common questions

Is Bitget really closing in France? +
Yes — Bitget’s own support notice confirms it is discontinuing all services for residents of France (and the French Overseas Territories), with a full wind-down by 31 March 2026, citing MiCA compliance. New sign-ups stopped on 16 January 2026, and deposits stopped on 16 March 2026.
Is my crypto on Bitget safe? +
Bitget says balances can be withdrawn up to 31 March 2026, after which unwithdrawn balances over 10 USDC are due to move to a third-party platform (accessible from 8 April 2026). It’s safer not to wait — withdraw or transfer your funds while you still control the timing.
Can I transfer my crypto straight into CryptoUnity? +
Yes — and there’s no deposit fee from us (only the blockchain’s network fee applies). Get your deposit address in the app, send from Bitget on the matching network, and always do a small test transfer first.
Is Bitget banned across the whole EU? +
No — Bitget’s own notice is specific to France. It separately paused new sign-ups for certain users in Germany, which is a lighter step than the French closure. We haven’t found an equivalent closure notice for other EU countries; check Bitget’s own site for the latest in your market.
Is CryptoUnity regulated? +
CryptoUnity is a beginner-friendly app, not a licensed exchange. Regulated custody and execution are provided by BitGo, a regulated institutional custodian — so your crypto’s safety doesn’t rest on CryptoUnity holding a licence.
