Binance is halting services across France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and other EU countries on July 1, 2026 after failing to secure a MiCA license before the regulatory deadline. The world's largest crypto exchange withdrew its Greek application and is now pursuing authorization in France, but any approval will come too late to prevent a forced exit from the EU's 27-country market. Rivals Coinbase and Kraken, both fully MiCA-licensed, are positioned to absorb millions of displaced users.
