Binance plans UK return under new crypto rules

Binance plans to apply for authorization from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority as the country prepares to open applications under its new crypto regime.

The FCA application window opens Sept. 30, 2026, with the new regime taking effect Oct. 25, 2027. Binance is expected to establish a UK presence and board as part of the process, after years of restrictions that saw it stop onboarding new UK users in 2023.
