Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, has achieved a significant regulatory milestone after securing formal authorisation from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority FSRA of Abu Dhabi Global Market ADGM. This marks the first time Binance's global platform, Binance.com, has been licensed under such a robust, internationally recognised regulatory framework-positioning the company for stronger global compliance and expansion.
The approval represents a major step in Binance's long-term strategy to develop the world's most trusted and compliant digital-asset ecosystem. With this authorisation, Binance strengthens its credibility and gains greater access to multiple international markets far beyond the UAE. The move further cements the company's leadership in the global digital finance arena.
Under the regulatory framework, Binance's global platform will operate through three distinct regulated entities established in ADGM, each licensed for specific financial services. Nest Services Limited, to be renamed Nest Exchange Limited, has been approved as a Recognised Investment Exchange RIE, allowing it to run a Multilateral Trading Facility for both spot and derivatives trading. Nest Clearing and Custody Limited has been licensed as a Recognised Clearing House RCH with permissions to offer custody and CSD services, ensuring secure clearing, settlement, and asset protection. BCI Limited, soon to be Nest Trading Limited, has been authorised as a Broker-Dealer to provide OTC trading, conversion services, and a range of off-exchange activities.
