Binance Becomes First Crypto Exchange To Secure a Global License Under ADGM Framework, Setting a New Standard in Digital-Asset Regulation

Binance's three Nest-branded entities will operate a full exchange, clearing, and brokerage framework under ADGM's Financial Services Regulatory Authority supervision.

  • ADGM's regulator, Abu Dhabi Global Markets , announced on December 8, 2025, that Binance.com is authorized to operate under a comprehensive framework, with operations starting Jan 5, 2026.
  • Binance had been searching for a jurisdiction to call home and said that process would take time, with leaders framing the licence as providing regulatory clarity for global operations.
  • Licensed as separate Nest entities, Nest Exchange is an RIE, and Nest Clearing and Custody is an RCH, Binance said, with permissions for clearing, settlement, and custody.
  • The license provides credibility and broader market access, Binance said the FSRA license offers seamless market access while ADGM supervises clearing and consumer protections; questions about Binance.com headquarters remain open.
  • With over 300 million registered users and more than $125 trillion cumulative trading volume, ADGM officials said Binance's arrival highlights Abu Dhabi's role as an international hub for innovation.
