Binance The company submitted its application to the Hellenic Capital Market Commission in early 2026, established a holding company locally, and had passed key technical reviews; however, the application was swiftly reversed between June 7 and 15, 2026.At a meeting in May, Lagarde told Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis that Europe does not welcome Binance. The reason is that Binance, as the dominant platform providing liquidity for stablecoins, is viewed by some policymakers as potentially complicating the digital euro project being advanced by European Central Bank (ECB). With its path in Greece blocked, Binance has shifted its focus to France to seek a MiCA license. (crowdfundinsider)
