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

According to Mars Finance, Binance announced that it has obtained 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. From January 6, 2026, Binance services will be handled by three ADGM-licensed entities: Nest Exchange Services Limited: responsible for platform operations such as spot and derivatives trading; Nest Clearing and Custody Limited: responsible for clearing and custody, acting as a central counterparty in derivatives trading; and Nest Trading Limited: providing over-the-counter trading, instant swaps, and some wealth management services. This structure is consistent with traditional financial regulatory models, strengthening platform risk isolation and user asset protection through the layering of matching, clearing, and custody functions. In conjunction with the structural adjustment, Binance will update its user agreement. From January 5, 2026, the rights and obligations of users under the original Terms of Use will automatically be assumed by the corresponding ADGM entity, and product-related terms will also be adjusted accordingly. The official statement indicates that the migration will not affect users' daily use: UID, balance, order records, and available products will remain unchanged; open derivative positions will be transferred to Nest Clearing and Custody Limited for clearing and custody.
