[France's Highest Administrative Court Rejects Emergency Request to Suspend EU DAC8 Crypto Data Rules] Odaily Planet Daily News: France's highest administrative court, the Council of State, has rejected an emergency request filed by cryptocurrency companies Bull Bitcoin and Paymium to immediately suspend the enforcement of the French decree implementing the European Union's Directive on Administrative Cooperation 8 (DAC8). The applicants argued that the centralized collection of personal and financial data of digital asset users could lead to risks such as data breaches, extortion, and personal safety threats. The court ruled that the applicants failed to demonstrate an urgent situation justifying the suspension. The lawsuit filed by Bull Bitcoin seeking the complete annulment of the decree is still under review. DAC8 came into effect in the EU on January 1, 2026, and registered service providers are required to complete their first annual report for 2026 by September 30, 2027. (Bitcoin.com News)
