Binance France will close user accounts on December 31, and retained assets will incur maintenance fees starting November 29

BlockBeats news, November 8, Binance France has sent emails to users announcing that accounts will be closed on December 31, 2026. The email stated that due to the orderly cessation of business, if crypto assets have not been withdrawn by then, this notice will be deemed as treating the account as inactive under the terms of use, and may result in the assets being converted, transferred, or otherwise handled. To avoid fees, users must complete withdrawals before November 29. From that date, if the account still has a balance, a monthly maintenance fee of 0.025% of the balance will be charged, with a minimum of 10 USDC.

Previously, Binance failed to obtain MiCA authorization outside EU member states before the July 1 deadline, and had notified EU users at the end of June that key services would be restricted. A Binance spokesperson responded that after the end of the MiCA transition period, it is gradually restricting some services for affected users as previously communicated. When asked whether users in Spain and Belgium had also received similar emails, the spokesperson declined to comment.
