Binance has reportedly stopped offering its crypto derivatives services in Spain as it awaits approval from the Spanish regulator, Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV). Binance’s official Spain website has removed the derivatives option from its interface by removing the drop-down menu. However, the URLs for derivative services in Spain, including futures, battle, and derivative portal, are still active, according to Cointelegraph. According to a local report, Binance would reintroduce the derivatives option only after gaining regulatory approval from the Bank of Spain in the form of a guarantee certificate (BdE). https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-reportedly-halts-crypto-derivatives-service-in-spain

According to the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) (the French financial market regulator), Binance can now operate its digital asset trading platform in France, which means it can facilitate digital asset custody, let users buy and sell crypto, and help users exchange digital assets for each other. This is the exchange's first major approval from a G-7 member country, indicating that the company's development into other European markets is possible. Last week, CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao praised the country as a "crypto-friendly" government and announced a $100 million investment in the country's blockchain ecosystem. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-04/binance-poised-for-french-regulatory-nod-amid-european-push
