Binance has applied for authorisation under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation in Greece as compliance deadlines across the bloc approach.
The application was filed shortly after French regulators publicly listed Binance among exchanges still operating without a MiCA licence.
A Binance spokesperson confirmed the filing and said the company is engaging with Greece’s Hellenic Capital Market Commission during the review process.
We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the HCMC as this new regulation takes shape in the EU and look forward to contributing to the long-term growth of Europe’s digital financial ecosystem.
A Binance spokesperson said.
The move comes as EU regulators step up pressure on crypto firms to comply with MiCA before national transition periods expire.
France’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers warned in January that Binance remained unlicensed under MiCA despite being registered locally.
The AMF said firms were notified in late 2025 that France’s transition period ends on June 30, with non-compliant companies expected to halt operations in July.
