Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity (Collectivité d'outre-mer) that applies French crypto laws including the PSAN/DASP framework under AMF supervision. However, as an EU Overseas Country and Territory (OCT), MiCA does not automatically apply — EU law generally does not extend to OCTs. The IEOM issues the CFP franc (XPF, pegged to EUR) and oversees monetary policy. No local dedicated crypto law exists; financial regulation follows French national frameworks as applied to overseas collectivities, with some adaptations. Crypto is legal and unprohibited.
