Binance is under scrutiny from European Union authorities for reportedly offering crypto services without holding a license under MiCA, the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation.

It could mean penalties, service restrictions, or forced changes to Binance's European operations.

Binance is under renewed scrutiny over its continued operations in the European Union, with regulators and commentators questioning whether the crypto exchange meets the bloc's standards for licensing and compliance.
