Binance France will shut down all customer accounts by December 31, 2026. Crypto Briefing reported that the platform will introduce monthly maintenance fees of 0.025% on idle balances starting November 29, 2026, as part of an orderly wind-down of its regional operations.
The decision follows the firm's failure to obtain the necessary authorization under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. This exit occurs amid broader economic shifts in the region, as EU annual retail sales were reported at 0.4% on November 6, 2026, while the French balance of trade showed a deficit of 7.3 billion euros on the same date.
