Binance ordered by Belgian regulator to suspend crypto services

Belgium's Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) has instructed Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, to cease all virtual currency services in the country.

The regulator's directive mandates Binance to immediately halt such services within Belgium. It emphasizes that individuals and companies governed by Belgian laws, but not belonging to the EEA, are prohibited from engaging in these services.
