Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, announced a landmark regulatory achievement: The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, the Capital of the UAE, has formally approved the authorisation of Binance's global platform, Binance.com, under a comprehensive regulatory framework.

This global first is a major step in Binance's mission to create the most trusted and compliant digital-asset ecosystem in the world. A license granted by FSRA of ADGM offers Binance credibility and seamless access across multiple markets, extending well beyond the UAE, and cements Binance's position at the forefront of regulatory progress in digital finance.

This comprehensive regulatory approval covers Binance's global platform, Binance.com, via three separate regulated entities operating within ADGM. Each of the three entities (an Exchange, a Clearing House, and a Broker Dealer) holds distinct regulatory permissions to carry out specific financial services activities in line with ADGM's internationally recognized, gold-standard regulatory framework.

• Nest Services Limited (to be soon renamed "Nest Exchange Limited") has been approved as a Recognised Investment Exchange "RIE", with permission to operate a Multilateral Trading Facility. This entity is responsible for all "on-exchange" trading activities, including spot and derivatives products.
• Nest Clearing and Custody Limited has been approved as a Recognised Clearing House "RCH", with additional permissions to provide custody and CSD services. It will manage the clearing, settlement, and secure custody of digital assets, ensuring robust operational resilience and asset protection.
• BCI Limited (to be soon renamed "Nest Trading Limited") has been approved as a Broker-Dealer, with permissions to deal in investments, arrange deals in investments, manage assets, arrange custody and provide money services. This entity will deliver Binance's "off-exchange" offerings, including over the counter "OTC" trading, conversion services, and other principal-based activities.
