Can Binance Still Make It in EU? CEO Richard Teng Reveals Regulator Invitations

Binance is back in EU conversations, and this time, regulators are reaching out first. Speaking at the Reuters NEXT Asia conference in Singapore on July 9, 2026, Co-CEO Richard Teng confirmed that multiple EU member states have invited the exchange to apply for a Binance MiCA license under the bloc’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. The disclosure comes weeks after Binance withdrew its Greece application to protect EU users from service disruption.
