Binance will stop servicing some European users by the end of the year due to lack of a MiCA license

🔹Notifications about account closures have already been received by customers in France, Spain, Italy, and Poland.

🔹Users are advised to withdraw funds by 29 November. After that date the exchange will begin charging a monthly fee of 0,025% of the balance, but not less than 10 USDC.

🔹That means even if $100 remains in the account, Binance may deduct 10 USDC for the first month. If the amount is less than 10 USDC, it may be taken in full.

🔹The first deduction is scheduled within three days after 29 November, the second — after 24 December. From 31 December accounts will be permanently closed. Withdrawals of cryptocurrency and fiat money remain available for now, but topping up such accounts will no longer be possible.

🔹Binance still has not obtained a MiCA license, which allows operation across the entire EU market. In June the company withdrew its license application in Greece, and in July it lost its preliminary registration in France after the end of the transitional period.

🔹At the same time the exchange says it does not plan to leave the European market and continues to work on obtaining authorization.

Binance до кінця року припинить обслуговування частини європейських користувачів через відсутність ліцензії MiCA

🔹Повідомлення про закриття акаунтів уже отримали клієнти у Франції, Іспанії, Італії та Польщі.

🔹Користувачам рекомендують вивести кошти до 29 листопада. Після цієї дати біржа почне щомісяця списувати комісію в розмірі 0,025% від залишку, але не менше 10 USDC.

🔹Тобто навіть якщо на рахунку залишиться $100, Binance може списати 10 USDC за перший місяць. Якщо сума буде меншою за 10 USDC, її можуть забрати повністю.

🔹Перше списання заплановане протягом трьох днів після 29 листопада, друге — після 24 грудня. З 31 грудня акаунти остаточно закриють. Виведення криптовалюти та звичайних грошей поки залишається доступним, але поповнювати такі рахунки вже не можна.

🔹Binance досі не отримала ліцензію MiCA, яка дозволяє працювати на всьому ринку ЄС. У червні компанія відкликала заявку на ліцензію в Греції, а в липні втратила попередню реєстрацію у Франції після завершення перехідного періоду.

🔹Водночас біржа заявляє, що не планує залишати європейський ринок і продовжує працювати над отриманням дозволу.
