The Dutch central bank joined the ranks of regulators issuing warnings about crypto exchange Binance operating without permission.
De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) said Wednesday that “Binance is providing crypto services in the Netherlands without the required legal registration.”
Binance is not in compliance with the country's anti-money laundering and anti-terror financing act, and is offering custodian wallets and services illegally, the DNB said.
The warning pertains to Binance Holdings Ltd. as well as other Binance entities that offer crypto services in the Netherlands.
DNB's announcement follows similar warnings from financial overseers in a number of jurisdictions in recent months, including the U.K., Japan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
