As per reports, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), the central bank of the Netherlands fined Binance $3.3 million for operating without registration. The authority now decided not to grant the biggest crypto exchange with a VASP license to operate.
It is important to note that there are several exchanges that continue to operate in the Netherlands without registration. As of now, US’s biggest exchange, Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) managed to gain a VASP license in the country. Meanwhile, Binance decides to withdraw from the market. It is being speculated that the Dutch Central Bank might have threatened the exchange to face a heftier fine than before.
Responding to speculations, Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated “No Beed” but that their crypto exchange is large and complex. He mentioned that there are around 50 simple local VASP license holders which should provide decent access to crypto. He added that the Netherlands is still much more progressive for digital assets than others. Read More Binance News Here…
