Binance, the prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has withdrawn its application for a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license in Greece. This decision comes shortly after reports suggested the application would be denied.

Despite this setback, Binance has expressed its commitment to maintaining a presence in Europe. The company is exploring alternative options to comply with EU regulations and continue its services.
