\u201cDue to the imposition of requirements by the FCA, Binance Markets Limited is not currently permitted to undertake any regulated activities without the prior written consent of the FCA.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo other entity in the Binance Group holds any form of UK authorisation, registration or licence to conduct regulated activity in the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Binance Group appear to be offering UK customers a range of products and services via a website, Binance.com.\u201d<\/p>\n
The exchange has until June 30 to confirm that it is complying with the FCA\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n
It must also secure and preserve all records relating to UK consumers and inform the FCA this has been done by July 2.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe firm will remove, or where this is not practicable, give instructions for the removal of any advertising and financial promotions it currently has live, in whatever form they take by close of business on 30 June 2021,\u201d the FCA noted.<\/p>\n
In a tweet on Sunday, Binance said Binance Markets Limited (BML) is a separate legal entity and does not offer any products or services via the Binance.com website.<\/p>\n
It said the FCA UK notice has no direct impact on the services provided on the crypto website, noting that its relationship with users has not changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe take a collaborative approach in working with regulators and we take our compliance obligations very seriously. We are actively keeping abreast of changing policies, rules and laws in this new space,\u201d the tweet reads.<\/p>\n
We are aware of recent reports about an FCA UK notice in relation to Binance Markets Limited (BML).<\/p>\n
