Binance has set up a shop in New Zealand after receiving registration approval to operate in the island country. The move confirms Binance as a registered financial service provider in the country, according to Changpeng Zhao.

“We are pleased to announce that Binance has registered as a Financial Service Provider with the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment and has officially launched Binance New Zealand.”

New Zealand lawmakers and regulators have been open to crypto firms operating in the country, imposing reasonable guidelines for the companies and allowing Kiwis to use crypto freely. The news came through a video announcement by Binance’s CEO on Twitter. According to CZ, the country offers an exciting market defined by a solid fintech and innovation background.

“Our team of Binancians in New Zealand is working hard to bring the freedom of crypto to Kiwis.”

With this development, the country’s residents can now access services like spot trading, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and staking. The government has a population of approximately 5.1 million, giving Binance a significant market to serve, and the country’s crypto advocacy makes it even more potent for the company to thrive.

New Zealand offers a crypto-friendly Ground

In 2019, New Zealand’s tax authority announced that crypto-generated income was legal. The declaration prompted the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to explore the potential benefits and risks of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

Binance is not the only company New Zealand’s friendliness attracted to crypto. In June, Huobi Global was recognized as a registered financial service provider in New Zealand before suspending its derivatives trading services for residents, following compliance issues with local regulations.

Binance on expansion

Binance’s entrance to the pro-crypto Pacific nation follows the approval by regulators across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstan, and Italy giving a “go-signal” for the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange to set up shop in another country.

Despite the company’s commitment to expanding across many countries in the world, some regulators continue targeting Binance. For instance, the company had to pay an acceptable $3.3 million to the Netherlands’ central bank for offering cryptocurrency services without registration. On September 22, Binance formed the Global Advisory Board to shield itself against such situations in the future. The task force tackles all crypto-related regulatory issues, including blockchain and Web3 adoption.

Apart from Binance, other crypto firms have also demonstrated a commitment to expanding their global reach and services. On Thursday, September 29, Crypto.com secured preliminary regulatory approval in France, marking the company’s triumphant entrance into the European market.

This happened as the country’s financial and stock market regulators, Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) and Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) respectively, cleared the digital asset platform. The clearance makes Crypto.com a registered Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) with the ability to effectively offer several products and services to its customer base in France.

Another crypto firm that expanded this week was Coinbase, which gained regulatory approval to operate in the Netherlands. The permission made the company the first major global crypto exchange approved by the Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank — DNB).

Coinbase now offers its full suite of crypto services and products to the Dutch market and the European Union. The approval came as the U.S.-based crypto firm’s operations passed checks on the newly established guidelines by the Dutch regulator, including sanctions for screening for incoming and outgoing cryptocurrency transactions. Coinbase’s customer base now spreads across almost 40 European countries through dedicated hubs in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
