- Binance users in Spain, France and Poland report receiving account-closure notices.
- The reported closure date for affected accounts is Dec. 31.

Binance users in Spain, France and Poland say they have been told to withdraw their crypto before their accounts close on Dec. 31. The reported notices warn that fees could apply if customers leave assets on the platform past the deadline.
The reports concern affected accounts, not necessarily every Binance customer in those countries. The available information does not specify which services or account types are covered, or what fees would apply.
What should affected Binance users do?
Customers who received a notice should check its exact deadline and terms in their Binance account, then arrange a withdrawal or transfer before Dec. 31 if they do not want their assets left subject to the stated fees or account closure. A withdrawal means moving crypto off the exchange to another platform or a wallet the user controls; transfers can involve network fees and require the correct destination details.
The key practical point is to rely on the message tied to your own account rather than assume the reports apply uniformly across a country. The source information does not establish whether Binance has notified all users in Spain, France or Poland.
How this fits Binance’s European regulatory picture
The account notices come amid questions about Binance’s ability to operate across the EU under the bloc’s MiCA crypto rules. Earlier reporting on a possible EU exit and licensing hurdles gives the closures a wider context, but it does not prove that MiCA is the reason for these particular notices. The reports provided do not state Binance’s explanation.
For customers, the distinction matters: a reported year-end account closure is a concrete deadline for recipients, while the broader regulatory backdrop does not tell other users that their accounts will also close. Watch for Binance’s direct clarification on the affected countries, account scope, fee terms and any available alternatives.
