Crypto exchange Binance ordered to halt services in Belgium

Leading blockchain and cryptocurrency platform Binance has been ordered by Belgium’s Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) to cease immediately all offers of virtual currency services in the country.

The FSMA has noted that “Binance is offering and providing exchange services in Belgium between virtual currencies and legal currencies, as well as custody wallet services, from countries that are not members of the European Economic Area”.

The FSMA has therefore ordered Binance to cease, with immediate effect, offering or providing any and all such services in Belgium.
