THE SCENARIO
The potential rejection of Binance's license to operate in the EU comes amid a broader regulatory crackdown on cryptocurrency exchanges. The MiCA framework is designed to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the EU, and Binance is one of several exchanges that have applied for a license under the framework.
DIRECT QUOTE
"Binance serves more users in Europe than any other crypto exchange, and any delay or distortion in our MiCA path has consequences beyond Binance. It risks weakening liquidity, reducing competition and user choice, and pushing activity, jobs, investment, and tax revenue outside the EU." — Binance
