According to ChainCatcher, Denis Beau, the first deputy governor of the Banque de France, the central bank of France, recently revealed that the central bank's prudential supervision department ACPR is working with the industry to certify smart contracts. He said: "In 2024, we will continue to work with stakeholders on an important ACPR recommendation, which is to compulsorily certify smart contracts before using them." Mr. Beau pointed out that France's early crypto asset regulations have largely influenced the MiCA regulations.
