On June 23, the Belgian Monetary Companies and Markets Authority accused Binance of violating Belgium’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing legal guidelines for allegedly providing crypto-related companies “from nations that aren’t members of the European Financial Space.”
It ordered Binance to stop all associated companies in Belgium “with rapid impact,” and was required to contact all its Belgium-based shoppers and return all crypto and personal keys the change held.
The ordeal led Binance to divert its companies for Belgians via 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 focus on what modifications had been made to permit it to renew companies for Belgian customers. Cointelegraph has reached out to Binance and Belgium’s FSMA for remark.
