Spanish Regulator Says No Extensions as Binance Faces EU Shutdown Over MiCA License

Spain's top securities regulator confirmed no extensions to the EU's July 1 MiCA licensing deadline, as Binance remains unlicensed after withdrawing its Greece application and may have to halt EU operations.

• EU crypto firms must register under MiCA by July 1 or cease operations; Spain's CNMV chairman says 'no exceptions or extensions'
• Binance withdrew its MiCA license application in Greece this week and is seeking approval in another EU member state
• Regulators are working with unlicensed firms to ensure customer assets can be transferred to compliant providers
• Once registered in one EU country, a crypto firm can 'passport' its license to operate across all member states
• The deadline could force the world's largest exchange to temporarily wind down European operations
