Google said this week it would allow only FCA-authorised entities to run ads for British-based financial products on its website, after repeated FCA calls to crack down on online fraud. Still, the FCA's demand that Binance seeks its permission to offer regulated services means it would be an offence to suggest to investors it was regulated in Britain.īinance will also have to rethink plans announced last year to offer crypto trading services using pounds and euros on a platform regulated by Britain. British investors can still access Binance via its main website, which the FCA does not have powers over. "At the moment the method is to emphasise risks to investors in the UK of these services rather than to regulate them outright," said Shearman & Sterling lawyer Barney Reynolds. Beyond a loud warning to investors, the FCA has done all it can under its limited powers over an offshore exchange, experts say. The Monetary Authority of Singapore noted that Binance Asia Services is exempted from holding a licence under the Payment Services Act for the provision of digital payment token services, as its licence application is being reviewed. Binance Asia Services - backed by Temasek unit Vertex Holdings - runs the Binance.sg platform, popular with Singaporeans trading in bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies. Singapore's central bank told The Straits Times on Thursday that it will follow up with Binance as appropriate in light of the actions taken by other regulatory authorities. Regulators including the FCA are increasingly worried over the standard of anti-money laundering checks at crypto exchanges and the risks crypto trading poses to consumers. Crypto trading is generally unregulated in Britain, though some activities such as offering crypto derivatives do require permission. Britain's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said last week Binance's British arm cannot conduct any regulated activity, without saying why it took the action. And it's coming under scrutiny from regulators? A Binance spokesman declined to comment on its location, saying it was "decentralised" and that it "works with a number of regulated entities around the world".īinance has built up a huge following across the world, with channels on the Telegram social media app for users in more than 30 countries.
