“Recognition and approval from national regulators, such as the Central Bank of Bahrain, is essential to build trust in crypto and blockchain and help further improve mass adoption. The approval recognizes Binance’s commitment to comply fully with regulatory requirements and our broader commitment to anchor operations and activities in Bahrain.”
What had happened before? The company has registered itself as a local organization in Canada, known as Binance Canada Capital Market. This Binance subsidiary will facilitate the provision of the services related to digital assets, money transfers, and foreign currencies and act as a money services business (MSB).
