Binance anuncia la reapertura de operaciones en Bélgica
- Binance ha anunciado que reabrirá sus operaciones para sus usuarios en Bélgica a través de una publicación en X.
- El intercambio dijo que ahora admitirá el registro de nuevos usuarios.
- La Autoridad de Mercados y Servicios Financieros de Bélgica pidió a la bolsa que finalizara sus operaciones en julio de 2023.
- El intercambio fue acusado de violar las leyes ALD y de financiación del terrorismo presentes en el país.
Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has announced the reopening of its operations in Belgium, and now users can begin with registrations and access to the crypto trading platform’s products and services. Moreover, this statement comes almost three months after the exchange was ordered by the country’s finance regulator to cease cryptocurrency-related services.
Es importante mencionar aquí que en julio de 2023, el regulador financiero del país, la Autoridad Belga de Mercados y Servicios Financieros, acusado Binance of violating the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws present in the country, asking the exchange to cease all crypto-related services “with immediate effect.”
“We are delighted to announce that, as of today, new registrations of Belgian residents are welcome on our platform once again. In addition, various Binance products and services are accessible again to Belgian users who have accepted our new Terms of Use,” said the crypto exchange.
The regulator asked Binance to contact all its Belgium-based clients and return all crypto and private keys that it had stored. The regulatory action pushed the crypto exchange to divert its services for Belgians through Binance Poland sp. z o.o., the exchange’s registered arm in Poland. Interestingly, the firm registered its Polish arm in January this year.
On the other hand, Binance has announced that it will delist all the stablecoins in the European region by 2024 in order to comply with the European Union’s incoming Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) legislation, which was passed recently and will go into effect in 2024. However, crypto exchanges in the EU area are trying to acquire registrations and ramp up operations after the passing of the MiCA legislation.
Además, Binance se enfrenta a acciones estrictas por parte de los reguladores de los Estados Unidos, y el intercambio despidió a varios empleados de su división estadounidense. Muchos ejecutivos también han abandonado la empresa, incluido el director ejecutivo Brian Shroden, que fue nombrado no hace mucho. Según un informe anterior de Bitnation, el intercambio líder busca desestimar la demanda presentada por la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores (SEC) de Estados Unidos también.
