Binance App Missing From Google Play in Some EU Countries Amid MiCA Compliance Concerns
Binance's Android app has disappeared from Google Play in some European Union countries. According to users, Binance is no longer available on the platform in Spain and Latvia, but it remains accessible in Poland.
A spokesperson for Binance said that recent Google Play policy updates have affected crypto apps' availability in certain markets, and the exchange is working with Google to resolve the issue.
The development comes as Binance continues to adjust its European operations after the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework entered full effect on July 1. MiCA requires crypto-asset service providers to obtain authorization in at least one member state before offering regulated services across the bloc.
