Binance Asserts MiCA Compliance Despite Greek Rejection Reports

Binance disputes Reuters reports that Greece’s HCMC will reject its MiCA license application, claiming the regulator completed its review and found the filing fully compliant with ESMA also involved. The June 16 reports indicate a potential denial that would block EU passporting rights and force Binance to cease serving clients after the July 1, 2026 transitional deadline. The exchange says it has worked constructively with regulators for 18 months on the January 2026 Greek filing, leaving the outcome unresolved and raising near-term regulatory risk for the exchange and broader crypto markets.
