Binance Withdraws Greek MiCA Application Over Lagarde Rumors, Eyes Another EU Country

Binance pulled its MiCA license application in Greece just days before the July 1 deadline. The exchange had filed in January, but reports of an impending rejection surfaced in mid-June.

The Wall Street Journal reported that a deputy at Greece’s HCMC claimed ECB President Christine Lagarde asked Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to block the approval. Binance declined to address the claims.

The company instead stressed its long-term commitment to Europe and said it will now pursue the license in another EU jurisdiction. Neither the ECB nor HCMC has commented so far.
