Binance Denies Rumors of Lagarde Intervening in Greece's MiCA Application, Reaffirms Commitment to European Compliance

According to Cointelegraph, the Wall Street Journal reported that European Central Bank President Lagarde had requested the Greek Prime Minister not to approve Binance's MiCA license application, and the Vice Chair of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) also conveyed this information to Binance. In response, Binance declined to comment, stating only that it does not comment on speculative reports, and reiterated its commitment to seeking authorization for long-term compliant operations under the EU's MiCA framework. Binance had previously withdrawn its Greek application ahead of the MiCA deadline on July 1 and plans to pursue authorization in other EU member states. Neither the European Central Bank nor Greek regulators have commented on the matter.
