However, Binance managed to resume the services for European users in less than a month.
In fact, Binance has faced numerous regulatory challenges in the first three quarters of this year, especially when dealing with European countries:
United Kingdom: Binance UK division has ceased its registration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
Netherlands: Binance announced its exit from the Dutch market and only provided withdrawal services after mid-July
Germany: Binance faced rejection for registration in June, with a spokesperson confirming the voluntary withdrawal of the license application in Germany
Austria: The license application in Austria has been canceled, and the exchange plans to re-enter the EU under the MiCA framework
