Binance is operating in the Netherlands without the appropriate license, according to the De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB)—the Dutch central bank.
“Binance is providing crypto services in the Netherlands without the required legal registration,” the bank said in a warning issued today.
Per the statement, the cryptocurrency exchange is not in compliance with anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing legislation in the Netherlands. “This may increase the risk of customers becoming involved in money laundering or terrorist financing,” the bank added.
Binance saga continues
This isn’t the first time a central bank or financial services regulator has warned or taken action against Binance for operating without a license.
In Malaysia, regulators have actually taken enforcement action against the exchange, alleging that the crypto exchange was operating illegally in the country despite being listed on an Investor Alert List in July 2020.
