Binance emailed its users notifying them that the exchange was no longer able to accept new registrations and would limit services, a spokesperson for the Abu Dhabi-based company told CoinDesk. “Your assets remain secure and will remain accessible at all times,” the email said.

However, in a statement to CoinDesk, Binance said its “ambitions in Europe remain the same and we are confident that we will secure a MiCA license in the coming months.”
