Binance will operate under ADGM regulations through three entities: Nest Exchange, Nest Clearing and Nest Trading.
The framework separates trading, custody, and brokerage, strengthening risk controls and market integrity.
Binance.com will start regulated operations on January 5, 2026, providing secure, compliant global services.
Binance announced it has received full regulatory authorization from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Starting January 6, 2026, Binance will provide services through three ADGM-regulated entities: Nest Exchange Services Limited, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, and Nest Trading Limited. The approval allows Binance to operate under a globally recognized regulatory framework.
Comprehensive Structure for Trading and Custody
Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng said the FSRA license demonstrates compliance, transparency, and user protection. Nest Exchange Services Limited will operate as a Recognised Investment Exchange (RIE), managing on-exchange spot and derivatives trading under a regulated framework.
Nest Clearing and Custody Limited is approved as a Recognized Clearing House (RCH) to oversee clearing, settlement, and custody of digital assets. Nest Trading Limited, formerly BCI Limited, will operate as a Broker-Dealer handling off-exchange activities such as OTC trades and asset management.
This structure mirrors traditional financial regulation, separating trading, custody, and brokerage functions. It strengthens risk controls, ensures market integrity, and provides regulatory clarity across all Binance operations. Teng emphasized that this framework offers users enhanced protection and operational resilience while aligning with international standards.
ADGM’s Role and Global Financial Impact
His Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM, said Binance’s presence shows Abu Dhabi’s position as a global hub for innovation and digital finance. ADGM provides rigorous supervision, clarity in digital-asset regulation, and a supportive ecosystem for financial technology.
Binance currently serves over 300 million registered users globally, with more than $125 trillion in cumulative trading volume. Operating under ADGM’s gold-standard framework enables Binance to raise compliance, governance, and consumer protection standards.
Subject to operational preparations, Binance.com will begin regulated operations under ADGM on January 5, 2026, supporting secure, transparent, and internationally recognized digital-asset services.
