Binance Keeps MiCA Plans Intact Despite Lagarde Intervention Report

Binance has maintained its commitment to securing authorization under the European Union's Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) despite a report that Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, intervened in its Greek MiCA application.

The exchange withdrew its Greek application on June 24 after reportedly receiving an indication from Hellenic Capital Market Commission officials that Lagarde had asked Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis not to approve the application.

Binance declined to comment on the report, stating only that it would 'not comment on speculation.'
