NEWS: Binance to remove its European Visa debit card in December

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced on October 20 that it will eliminate its European Visa debit card on December 20. The card, which launched in 2020, allowed users to spend their cryptocurrencies at physical and online merchants.

Binance did not provide a specific reason for the card's removal, but it is likely due to increasing regulations on cryptocurrencies in Europe. In recent months, several European regulators have warned consumers about the risks of investing in cryptocurrencies.

Mastercard ended its partnership in Latin America and Bahrain with Binance in September

In September, Mastercard announced that it was ending its partnership with Binance in Latin America and Bahrain. The decision came after Mastercard conducted a review of risks related to cryptocurrencies.

Mastercard did not provide a specific reason for the decision, but it may have been due to concerns about money laundering and terrorist financing.

Analysis

The removal of Binance's European Visa debit card and Mastercard's decision to end its partnership with Binance are signs that cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly regulated around the world.

These regulations are likely to continue to increase in the coming years, which could make it difficult for cryptocurrency companies to operate in certain markets.
