  • After 2017, when Binance was founded, it positioned itself as the world’s biggest centralised exchange (CEX) as per the trading turnover.
  • The leaders of the EU in issuing CASP MiCA licences are Germany and the Netherlands, standing at 43 and 22, respectively.

Binance has recently submitted an application to authorise under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) in Greece as regulators alert of emerging compliance deadlines. 

The spokesperson of Binance acknowledged that the exchange had filed for a MiCA licence in Greece and was working with the financial regulator of Greece, the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC). 

The representative of the Exchange also mentioned that we welcome the opportunity to work with HCMC as this new rule takes shape in the European Union and look forward to contributing to the long-term growth of the EU’s digital financial ecosystem. 

AMF so far issued a warning on January 13 that Binance was one of the 90 crypto companies registered, but it remains unlicensed under MiCA. The regulator mentioned that it notified the firms towards the end of 2025 that the MiCA transition period of France terminated on June 30, putting pressure on non-compliant companies to shut operations in July. 

What did the spokesperson further say?

After 2017, when Binance was founded, it positioned itself as the world’s biggest centralised exchange (CEX) as per the trading turnover, averaging $11.9 billion in reported daily volume, as per CoinGecko. 

The spokesperson further went on to say that ‘We see MiCA as a positive and significant milestone for the industry, one that takes greater regulatory clarity, stronger user protections, and a clean substructure for responsible innovation.”

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has revealed data publicly which indicates that Greece has not issued a single MiCA licence for a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) till now. 

The leaders of the EU in issuing CASP MiCA licences are Germany and the Netherlands, standing at 43 and 22, respectively. At the same time, France’s AMF stands at 11. Binance pulled increased scrutiny from the regulators of Europe well before MiCA set its foot with full force in late 2024.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
