Prior to the introduction of its U.K.-based trading platform, the firm began offering GBP trading pairs in 2020. Binance Jersey, positioned on an island between England and France with low tax rates, allowed UK residents to trade pounds for cryptocurrencies at the time.As of June 2021 however, the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom demanded that Binance Markets Ltd, the company’s UK subsidiary, cease any regulated activity without obtaining prior written authorization.Users were unable to add British pounds or Euros to their accounts until March 2022. Next, in December, Binance reinstated GBP and EUR transactions via <a href="https://www.paysafe.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PaySafe’s</a> Skrill as its fiat partner.
