Binance has applied for a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license in Greece, joining other crypto firms preparing for EU-wide regulatory compliance ahead of the June 2026 deadline. The MiCA framework aims to unify crypto regulation across the EU, providing legal clarity and investor protection while enabling cross-border services via passporting. Meanwhile, French regulators have intensified anti-money laundering inspections on crypto firms, highlighting increasing regulatory scrutiny across Europe.
