DescriptionBinance exited the EU market from July 1, 2026 after Greece's HCMC rejected its MiCA CASP license application. Binance previously withdrew a BaFin application in Germany and explicitly stated it 'remains committed to European users and to securing a MiCA license.' Possible re-filing jurisdictions include Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, or Malta.
- This event resolves YES if Binance officially confirms a new formal MiCA CASP license application submitted to any EU member state regulator (excluding Greece) on or before July 31, 2026 UTC.
- This event resolves NO if no such confirmed application is announced by July 31, 2026 UTC.
- 1. Specificity: YES requires an official Binance announcement or confirmed regulator filing — not leaked reports or speculation.
- 2. Exclusion: A re-application to Greece's HCMC does NOT count. A licensing deal through a third-party partner does NOT count.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Binance official blog/X announcements primary. EU national regulator press releases secondary. Reuters/Bloomberg/CoinDesk reporting tertiary.
- 4. Timing: Must be confirmed before July 31, 2026 23:59 UTC. Post-deadline resolves NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: N/A — this market measures action, not approval.
