Binance Pull Backs Its German Crypto License Application

License Withdrawal After Regulatory Troubles In Europe

The decision was made in response to a withdrawal from markets like Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as because its American arm is being sued by regulators for running an unlicensed exchange.

A spokesperson from Binance confirmed the news saying, “The situation, both in the global market and regulation, has changed significantly. Binance still intends to apply for appropriate licensing in Germany, but it is essential that our submission accurately reflects these changes.”

After experiencing increased regulatory difficulties in Europe, Binance has continued to withdraw its licensing applications in several European nations. 

Key executives from Binance who were in charge of growing the company’s operations in Europe have either departed the company or are set to do so. Earlier this year, Michael Wild, who was in charge of expanding the company’s operations in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria alongside his team, left the largest cryptocurrency exchange.
