MiCA’s transition period ended on 1 July 2026. From that date, a crypto firm needs a MiCA licence from one member state to serve users anywhere in the EU. Binance had applied in Greece and withdrew that application on 24 June 2026.
What changed
- No new EU accounts. Binance emailed users in France, Italy, Poland and Spain that it could no longer accept new registrations and would restrict services, a spokesperson told CoinDesk.
- Assets stay withdrawable. The same email said user assets “will remain accessible at all times”, as also reported by Euronews.
- A new application is planned. Binance says it will seek authorisation in another member state and has not said which.
What changes in our data
Binance’s rows for the 26 tracked EU member states move from limited to restricted, at medium confidence: the suspension is confirmed by Binance spokesperson quotes in the press, but we found no Binance-hosted notice of it. The Netherlands was already restricted under Binance’s prohibited-countries list. Norway, in the EEA but outside the EU, stays limited until we verify its own MiCA timeline.
