According to the announcement from Binance, the platform has achieved full regulatory authorization from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This approval allows Binance to operate its global platform under a comprehensive regulatory framework, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to building a trusted and transparent digital asset platform. The transition to a new regulatory structure is set to enhance clarity, oversight, and risk management across Binance's operations. Starting from 2026-01-06 08:00 (UTC), Binance services will be provided through three ADGM-licensed entities, each with specific roles. Nest Exchange Services Limited will function as a Recognized Investment Exchange, handling all exchange activities, including spot and derivative trading. Nest Clearing and Custody Limited will serve as a Recognized Clearing House, responsible for clearing, settlement, and safeguarding user digital assets. Nest Trading Limited will act as a Broker-Dealer, managing off-exchange activities and principal-based services like OTC trading. This structure mirrors traditional finance regulatory architectures, ensuring precise regulatory permissions for each operational aspect. To align with this new structure, Binance is updating its contractual arrangements with users. From 2026-01-05, services will be provided by the newly licensed entities, and users' contractual relationships will transition accordingly. The updated Terms of Use and Privacy Notice will take effect on the same date, with users' acceptance confirmed through continued use of the platform. Additionally, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited will manage clearing and custody arrangements for on-exchange derivative transactions. These changes are primarily regulatory and do not alter the user experience on the platform. Users will continue to access the platform with existing credentials, and balances, order history, and trading functionality will remain unaffected. The products and services will be provided by different Binance regulated entities, ensuring compliance with the new regulatory framework.

According to Cointelegraph, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has refuted claims that the bank debanks customers based on their religious or political affiliations. In an interview with Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures,' Dimon emphasized that while JPMorgan has ceased services for individuals from various backgrounds, political affiliations have never been a determining factor. Devin Nunes, chair of the President’s intelligence advisory board and CEO of Trump Media, has alleged that JPMorgan debanked the company and was among over 400 Trump-linked entities whose banking records were subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith. Additionally, Jack Mallers, CEO of Bitcoin Lightning Network payments company Strike, accused JPMorgan of closing his personal accounts without explanation, raising concerns about a potential Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Houston Morgan from ShapeShift shared a similar experience in November. Dimon firmly stated that JPMorgan does not debank individuals due to their political or religious affiliations. He clarified that while the bank has debanked people with various affiliations, it was never for those reasons. Dimon expressed his desire to change debanking rules, noting that crypto firms have faced account closures and service denials for years, which many believe are part of efforts to suppress the digital assets sector. Dimon criticized the current debanking rules and expressed support for the Trump administration's efforts to change them, stating he has advocated for rule changes for 15 years. He described the current system as customer unfriendly, with debanking occurring due to suspected activities or negative media. In August, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing banking regulators to investigate debanking claims from the crypto sector and conservatives. Dimon mentioned that banks are required to share information with the government when subpoenaed, but JPMorgan has made recommendations to reduce reporting and debanking instances. He emphasized that the bank does not provide information to the government without a subpoena and has complied with subpoenas across multiple administrations. Dimon criticized the government's actions that frustrate banks and called for solutions rather than assigning blame. He noted that both Democratic and Republican governments have pressured banks, urging an end to the militarization of government actions against financial institutions.
