Binance France Closing All User Accounts by December 31
Binance France is shutting down user accounts at year's end, with monthly fees hitting any remaining assets starting Nov. 29.
If you've been sitting on a Binance France account and not really thinking about it, now's a good time to pay attention. The exchange has started sending emails to its French users announcing that all accounts will be closed on December 31 — and that's not a date you want to miss.
Here's the part that really stings: if you leave any assets on the platform past November 29, the company says it will start charging monthly fees on whatever you've got sitting there. So not only is the clock ticking on the account itself, but your crypto could quietly start shrinking before the final deadline even arrives.

Binance France sending these closure notices via email suggests the wind-down is already in motion.
