Binance CEO “CZ” believes an effective regulatory framework is necessary to protect users and promote crypto adoption.
“Binance has some of the most thorough AML and CTF compliance policies in the industry. Recognition of the efforts we have made to be on the leading edge of compliance that our registration in Cyprus represents is testament to that.”
Binance continuous expansion is a sign of commitment to the region. It includes recruitment, education, regulatory cooperation, and the development of the crypto ecosystem. In fact, it has received similar registrations in France, Italy, and Spain.

Also, he believes France’s large talent pool with strong engineering and mathematics backgrounds and crypto-friendly government and regulators makes it a strategic hub for crypto and blockchain industry. The crypto exchange received a license to operate in France in May.
Moreover, France’s government and Binance are collaborating on the blockchain, Web3, DeFi, and metaverse developments in the country. The Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) law and the DLT Pilot regulation are based on works by the French government.
