Binance has been on a rollercoaster ride in 2021, with some of the world’s most prominent regulators turning their backs on the company. This was recently shown by MASAK’s recent $750,000 punishment against the company’s Turkey subsidiary for infractions discovered during liability inspections.
Gulf and MENA Region
But the newest development shows that Binance’s worldwide expansion plans continue ahead despite these difficulties. Additionally, a Gulf nation gave the cryptocurrency exchange a heads-up after obtaining an MSB license.
The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) has granted Binance in-principle clearance to operate as a cryptocurrency service provider. According to the news release, following an application for a license from the regulatory agency, the exchange was granted a green light by the company’s board of directors.
CBB is the first organization in the MENA area to give the go-ahead to Binance after the most recent development. Exchange still has to go through the application procedure, which is expected to be completed in the “due course” of this authorization.
