Binance is set to lose permission to serve European Union clients from next month because its licence application is expected to be rejected, according to two people familiar with the matter. Under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets rules, known as MiCA, crypto firms have until the end of June to obtain a licence to continue servicing clients across the bloc. The people said Binance applied through Greece's market regulator, but the application is set to be turned down, which would leave the status of its EU customers uncertain from the start of July. Binance said it intends to support an orderly process and minimize disruption to users, while a spokesperson said the company believes it has met MiCA requirements after working with regulators for 18 months. Greece's Hellenic Capital Market Commission declined to comment, and Binance said it would provide an update before June 30, 2026.
Polymarket Data: $519K Volume Puts $64K “Yes” at 99.95% as $62K Odds Hit 36.5% and $60K 14%
On Polymarket's Bitcoin price ladder for June 15-21, the leading line is the downside strike at $64,000 with Yes at 99.95% and No at 0.05%, on $519,030 in volume. Deeper downside is priced with less conviction: $62,000 is Yes 36.5% / No 63.5%, while $60,000 is Yes 14.0% / No 86.0%. Upside targets are marked as long shots, with $68,000 at Yes 11.5% / No 88.5% and $70,000 at Yes 4.1% / No 95.9%, indicating traders see a far higher probability of testing lower levels than breaking out higher within the week.
Watch for any formal regulatory decision or statement on Binance's MiCA application before the end-of-June deadline, and for any update the company has said it will provide by June 30, 2026.
