TechFlame reports that Binance has announced it has obtained full regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Its global platform will officially operate under ADGM’s international regulatory framework.
In compliance with regulatory requirements, platform operations will transition to a new three-entity structure to enhance transparency, oversight mechanisms, and risk management. Starting January 6, 2026, Binance services will be provided 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, serving as the central counterparty for derivatives trading; and Nest Trading Limited, offering over-the-counter trading, instant swaps, and certain wealth management services.
This structure aligns with traditional financial regulatory models by separating matching, clearing, and custody functions, thereby strengthening risk isolation and user asset protection. In line with the structural adjustments, Binance will update its user agreements. From January 5, 2026, users’ rights and obligations under the existing Terms of Use will automatically be transferred to the corresponding ADGM entities, and product-related terms will also be adjusted accordingly.
Officials stated that the migration will not affect users’ daily experience: UIDs, balances, order history, and available products will remain unchanged. Open derivatives positions will be transferred to Nest Clearing and Custody Limited for clearing and custody.
