Bull Bitcoin

Bull Bitcoin, a French Bitcoin-only exchange licensed under MiCA, is challenging France’s DAC8 crypto data surveillance rules in court, arguing they create an insecure database risking user safety. The company claims DAC8’s data collection exacerbates physical threats to crypto users, citing rising kidnappings and attacks in Europe, particularly France.

Bull Bitcoin has obtained a MiCA license in France, allowing uninterrupted access to its Bitcoin services in the EU while maintaining self-custody and privacy. Founder Francis Pouliot highlighted the company's compliance without compromising its cypherpunk principles, having passed cybersecurity audits and self-funding the three-year licensing process.
