Binance Faces Potential EU Operating Ban Following Reported Greek MiCA License Rejection

Binance, a global cryptocurrency exchange, is reportedly set to lose its permission to serve customers within the European Union starting in July. This development stems from a reported decision by Greek regulators to reject the company's application for a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license. Under new EU rules, crypto firms must secure a MiCA license by the end of June to operate across the 27-nation bloc, with a rejection from one member state potentially preventing wider EU operations. Binance, which states it has 300 million customers worldwide, maintains it has diligently pursued the license and believes its application was compliant.
