UK’s FCA bans Binance

The UK financial regulator Finacial Conduct Authority (FCA) banned the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the whole world – Binance.

According to the FCA, Binance is unable to conduct any ‘regulated activity’ in the UK and issued a consumer warning against it. It also advised the public to be very careful with entities that made promises of high profits from cryptocurrency investments.

Binance issued a note, according to which the FCA ruling will not have any ‘direct impact’ on its services provided through its web portal.

Binance is regulated in the Cayman Islands and operates a British branch called Binance Markets Limited together with a number of other subsidiaries all over the world. Previously the company was based in Malta.

Even if they aren't actually affected, it's a pretty bad look, isn't it?
