They are investigating allegations of illegal provision of digital asset services and aggravated money laundering.Furthermore, the&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/binance-faces-regulatory-hurdle-nigeria-ordered-cease-operations.htm">exchange was ordered to cease</a>&nbsp;operations in Nigeria by the country's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).Binance has also faced regulatory challenges in multiple European countries, such as Belgium and Austria, as it prepares to comply with the EU's forthcoming Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations.
