According to the announcement from Binance, the platform has achieved full regulatory authorization from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This approval allows Binance to operate its global platform under a comprehensive regulatory framework, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to building a trusted and transparent digital asset platform. The transition to a new regulatory structure is set to enhance clarity, oversight, and risk management across Binance's operations. Starting from 2026-01-06 08:00 (UTC), Binance services will be provided through three ADGM-licensed entities, each with specific roles. Nest Exchange Services Limited will function as a Recognized Investment Exchange, handling all exchange activities, including spot and derivative trading. Nest Clearing and Custody Limited will serve as a Recognized Clearing House, responsible for clearing, settlement, and safeguarding user digital assets. Nest Trading Limited will act as a Broker-Dealer, managing off-exchange activities and principal-based services like OTC trading. This structure mirrors traditional finance regulatory architectures, ensuring precise regulatory permissions for each operational aspect. To align with this new structure, Binance is updating its contractual arrangements with users. From 2026-01-05, services will be provided by the newly licensed entities, and users' contractual relationships will transition accordingly. The updated Terms of Use and Privacy Notice will take effect on the same date, with users' acceptance confirmed through continued use of the platform. Additionally, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited will manage clearing and custody arrangements for on-exchange derivative transactions. These changes are primarily regulatory and do not alter the user experience on the platform. Users will continue to access the platform with existing credentials, and balances, order history, and trading functionality will remain unaffected. The products and services will be provided by different Binance regulated entities, ensuring compliance with the new regulatory framework.
