Binance’s MiCA application and the claims circulating on X

Ran Neuner, one of the loudest disinformation spreaders on X, has done it again.

This time he is trying to turn Binance withdrawing its MiCA application in Greece into some grand ECB plot to destroy crypto liquidity for a future CBDC.

Here are the facts.

Binance withdrew its MiCA application in Greece. That is real. Binance says it will pursue authorisation in another EU member state. Reuters reported that the Greek bid was expected to fail. That already destroys the entire victim narrative.

There is no hard evidence for the $200m tax revenue claim. No hard evidence for the 100+ jobs claim. No hard evidence that Greece officially told Binance it had met every obligation. Binance saying it believes it complied is not regulatory approval. It is corporate PR.

The actual reported concerns are much less convenient for the Binance defence squad: past money laundering penalties, AML failures, sanctions violations, complex corporate structure, risk culture, senior executive background and the remaining question of CZ influence.

That is exactly what regulators are supposed to examine when the largest offshore crypto casino wants a passport into the entire EU market.

And the ECB conspiracy is just embarrassing. The ECB does not grant MiCA licences to crypto exchanges. National regulators handle authorisation, ESMA coordinates the framework. Christine Lagarde is not sitting in a villain chair pressing a red “kill Binance” button because she wants a digital euro in 2029.

Greece is also not some helpless bailout puppet from 2012. Greece exited its financial assistance programme in 2018 and enhanced surveillance ended in 2022. Dragging old euro crisis talking points into a 2026 crypto licensing issue is not analysis. It is lazy propaganda for people who will retweet anything that sounds anti regulator.

Binance has massive regulatory baggage.

Binance tried to get MiCA approval through Greece. Regulators across multiple countries looked at the file.

The deadline got close. No licence came. Binance withdrew before eating a public rejection.

Turning every Binance compliance problem into a CBDC conspiracy is pathetic.

Crypto does not need more paid sounding outrage merchants laundering corporate damage control as “research”.

Sometimes the casino fails compliance because the casino has a history.

The moment Binance runs into people who actually look closely at what they do, things suddenly stop working for them.

And somehow, some crypto idiots are still trying to paint Binance as the victim here.

You are defending the largest offshore casino in the industry because you are too emotionally invested to admit what it is.

After 10/10 and countless other shady moves from Binance, the big KOLs are right back where they always end up: licking the boots of the same rotten industry that keeps abusing retail.

No spine and no principles

Just a bunch of cowards pretending to be “for the people” while defending the biggest players in the casino the second their bags, access or future deals are at risk.
