🇫🇷 French miners are increasingly fans of cryptocurrencies.

Young people are massively turning to cryptocurrencies.
According to Le Parisien and data from Adan, interest in digital assets is booming among 18-24 year olds: it was 12% in 2023, 24% in 2024, and 18% in 2025.

But what is most surprising is that interest is now growing among miners!

The Parisian tells us the story of Pierre who started trading crypto at 16, long before the age of majority required by exchanges:

"I invested 20 euros per month in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP"

Then everything accelerated:
"I got caught up in the game and stepped up a gear by buying small cryptos that I sold within the hour while I was in class."

"It was a crypto casino where you had to follow the currency rates in order to release them at the right time and at the right price, sometimes pocketing a few dozen cents."

To bypass the KYC, Pierre used the family's tax identification number.
His father, being aware, even allowed him to fund the account with his credit card.

Pierre eventually added his ID card at 18 years old in order to transfer the proceeds from his sales. Result: 500 euros invested and 800 euros withdrawn.

But he is not alone and this phenomenon would no longer be isolated.
According to Patrice Cros, Director of Finance and Education:
"This is a subject that emerges very strongly when intervening in a school environment"
"As soon as the subject comes up, one can feel a curiosity. Many hear about it through social media, word of mouth. There is a sense of opportunity to make money easily, even though in recent months, there has been a more cautious approach."
