Binance France will close all French customer accounts on Dec. 31, 2026, after failing to obtain authorization under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. Customers were notified by email in early November 2026 and have been urged to withdraw their assets promptly. Deposits have been blocked, while crypto and fiat withdrawals remain available. From Nov. 29, Binance will charge 0.025% of remaining crypto balances monthly, or 10 USDC, whichever is higher; the first charge will be taken within three days and a second after Dec. 24. Binance has also restricted services for users in Spain, Italy and Poland following the end of MiCA transition arrangements, while customers in countries such as Portugal have not been singled out in the same way. France’s financial regulator previously said Binance France’s registration lapsed automatically on July 2 after the national regime ended and providers without MiCA licenses were removed.
