On June 23, the Belgian Monetary Providers and Markets Authority accused Binance of violating Belgium’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing legal guidelines for allegedly providing crypto-related providers “from nations that aren’t members of the European Financial Space.”
It ordered Binance to stop all associated providers in Belgium “with fast impact,” and was required to contact all its Belgium-based purchasers and return all crypto and personal keys the alternate held.
The ordeal led Binance to divert its providers for Belgians by way of Binance Poland sp. z o.o. — Binance’s Polish-registered arm, which it had registered as a digital asset service supplier in January.
Binance’s assertion didn’t talk about what modifications had been made to permit it to renew providers for Belgian customers. Cointelegraph has reached out to Binance and Belgium’s FSMA for remark.
