Global cryptocurrency platform Binance has obtained full regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This approval enables Binance to operate its global activities under a comprehensive and transparent regulatory framework, marking a significant milestone in enhancing trust and transparency. Starting early 2026, Binance will provide its services through three ADGM-licensed entities, each with distinct roles. Nest Exchange Services Limited will serve as a recognized investment exchange managing all exchange activities, including spot and derivatives trading. Nest Clearing and Custody Limited will act as a clearinghouse responsible for safeguarding and settling users’ digital assets. Nest Trading Limited will function as a broker-dealer overseeing off-exchange activities and principal-based services such as OTC trading. This structure mirrors traditional financial regulatory models by assigning clear licenses to every operational aspect. Binance will update its user agreements accordingly, with services transitioning to the new licensed entities from January 5, 2026. Users will experience no changes in login procedures, balances, order history, or trading functionality, while existing agreements will convert to the new contracts. Additionally, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited will manage the clearing and safeguarding of on-exchange derivative transactions. These measures reflect Binance’s commitment to strengthening confidence and legal compliance in the global cryptocurrency market, helping establish the platform as a more stable and reliable service while guaranteeing user protection and transparency. This new regulatory framework will play a crucial role in Binance’s future global expansion and adherence to legal standards.
