Crypto exchange Binance is sending users warnings about a temporary suspension of services in several EU countries beginning July 1, 2026, after it failed to secure a single license under Europe's MiCA framework.
The restrictions won't affect every client on the continent — it all comes down to country of residence and account status.
From the beginning of the month, Binance France and other local entities in the affected jurisdictions will scale back part of their crypto services. After July 1, users will lose the ability to fund their accounts, open new positions, and execute trades. Binance has already halted new client registration in these countries.
The exchange stressed that client funds remain completely safe, and withdrawals will continue to work as usual.
The company withdrew the application for a European license that it had filed through the regulator in Greece, and now plans to obtain authorization in another EU country.
Binance confirmed that it still views the European market as strategically important and is working to secure the necessary license with minimal disruption for users.
