Binance has received full regulatory authorization for its Abu Dhabi Global Markets and will fully migrate to the ADGM regulatory framework.

Odaily reports that Binance has announced it has received full regulatory approval from the Abu Dhabi Global Markets (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), and its global platform will officially operate under ADGM's international regulatory framework. In accordance with regulatory requirements, platform operations will migrate to a new three-entity structure to enhance transparency, oversight mechanisms, and risk management.

Starting January 6, 2026, Binance services will be operated by three entities licensed by ADGM:

Nest Exchange Services Limited: Responsible for the operation of platforms such as spot and derivatives trading;

Nest Clearing and Custody Limited: Responsible for clearing and custody, acting as a central counterparty in derivatives transactions;

Nest Trading Limited: Offers over-the-counter trading, instant exchange, and some wealth management services.

This architecture aligns with traditional financial regulatory models, strengthening platform risk isolation and user asset protection through layered matching, clearing, and custody functions. In conjunction with this structural adjustment, Binance will update its user agreement. Starting January 5, 2026, users' rights and obligations under the original Terms of Use will be automatically assumed by the corresponding ADGM entity, and product-related terms will also be adjusted accordingly.

The official statement said that the migration will not affect users' daily use: UID, balance, order records and available products will remain unchanged, and open derivative positions will be transferred to Nest Clearing and Custody Limited for clearing and custody.
