Binance is restricting regulated crypto-asset services for clients in several European Union markets from 1 July 2026 after informing users that neither Binance France nor any other group entity will have Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation authorisation by the 30 June deadline.
Client communications cited in reports said the platform will stop onboarding new users and, from 1 July, available operations will be limited to actions that allow customers to reduce positions and withdraw assets. Binance also withdrew its MiCA licence application in Greece and said it will seek authorisation in another EU member state.
Under MiCA, crypto-asset service providers can continue operating only until 1 July 2026 or until an authorisation decision is made, and a licence granted by one national regulator can be used to provide services across the 27-country bloc. ESMA said the transitional period ends on 1 July and that any entity providing crypto-asset services to EU clients without a MiCA licence after that date must cease offering those services and implement an orderly wind-down.
Binance said publicly that it supports an orderly process and aims to minimise disruption for users while keeping assets accessible.
