In some countries, the license for the cryptocurrency exchange, Binance is nearly in a give-up state. For example: Cyprus. Also, the European nations have set criteria for serving licenses for the crypto exchanges. Yet, Binance had other plans on registering other states like UK, Ireland, and some European nations.
Those companies in Europe proclaimed that the revenue accesses in small amounts from certain thousands of Euros to five lakh Euros. Prominently, this constitutes 200 million Euros over the year of worth 218 million dollars.
