Binance Losing Ground In Europe?

Binance is facing registration complications in Europe. The biggest crypto exchange announced its exit from the Netherlands after failing to gain a VASP license from the Dutch regulator. It recently decided to deregister from Cyprus as a crypto asset service provider.

Binance holds anti-money laundering compliance in Spain, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Lithuania and Poland. However, the biggest crypto exchange and its US affiliate are facing legal troubles from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its operations.

Coingape reported that Binance might be facing internal FUD as its key executives are allegedly taking an exit from European operations amid expansion plans.
