  • Binance is facing regulatory issues in the UK, with some services withdrawn, and it is not currently onboarding new customers.

  • For users who can use the platform, you’ll still need to pay any tax due on transactions.

  • HMRC has requested user data from the largest crypto exchanges to increase tax compliance.

As of 2025, Binance is not authorised to operate in the UK following a notice from the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority). In response, Binance stopped onboarding new customers and restricted some services for UK customers.

Existing UK customers can still use some services on Binance. The company has also stated it intends to re-enter the UK market and is working with regulators to do so.
