TOBACCO SHOPS IN FRANCE WILL START SELLING BITCOINS IN JANUARY
Association of sellers of tobacco products of France Confédération des buralistes plans to sell bitcoin in the tobacco stores from the 1st of January 2019.
As reported by Europe1, French tobacco shops have the right to sell bitcoins since the beginning of next year, signing an agreement with the Central Bank of France. Later, the journalist Greg Raymond of Capital said that the approval of the Bank of France has not yet been received, which was as well confirmed by the head of the Association of tobacco sellers.
The head of Confédération des buralistes also explained that the payment terminal Bimedia will appear in tobacco stores. The opportunity to buy bitcoin may soon appear in the network of 3500 stores.
Last week, the Minister of economy and Finance of France Bruno Le Maire said that France is a leading country in the world, in terms of a developed tax scheme for cryptocurrency assets. Also, since the summer, the French financial markets regulator (AMF) has been developing regulations on ICO regulation.
Recall that since March, you can buy Bitcoin and Ethereum in 1200 tobacco stores in Australia, where sales are implemented with the support of BlueShift.
