Filing would only begin the process. The FCA still needs to assess governance, controls, financial resources, customer treatment and other requirements before granting authorization.<\/p>\n<p>The new framework gives Binance a clearer route into Britain than the current system. Firms can submit applications until February 28, 2027, while the wider regime starts on October 25 that year. The FCA has encouraged companies to apply early.<\/p>\n<p>Companies that apply during the official window may continue relevant crypto services under a saving provision if the FCA has not completed its assessment by the launch date. Late applicants receive narrower transitional treatment and cannot enter new contracts unless they obtain authorization in time.<\/p>\n<p>Binance enters that process with unfinished UK regulatory history. The FCA imposed restrictions on Binance Markets Limited in June 2021 and said the company could not conduct regulated activities without written approval. The regulator later said the business could not be effectively supervised, citing the wider Binance structure and complex, high risk products.<\/p>\n<p>Binance Markets Limited cancelled its remaining FCA permissions in May 2023. The FCA currently states that no other Binance Group entity has UK authorization or registration for regulated business.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange also stopped registering new UK customers in October 2023 after tighter financial promotion rules affected its arrangement with Rebuilding Society. Binance said at the time that it would search for another FCA authorized promotions approver.<\/p>\n<p>A successful application would therefore represent a return to direct FCA supervision rather than a continuation of any existing Binance UK licence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/binance-reportedly-plans-fca-application-for-uk-return\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Crypto News &#8211; iGaming.org ) Binance reportedly plans to seek UK authorization when the Financial Conduct Authority opens its new crypto application gateway on September 30.
