[CoinDesk] Binance users in some European countries told to pull crypto before fees kick in, with accounts closing by year end

Binance has notified users in several European countries, including Spain, France, and Poland, to withdraw their crypto before new fees take effect, with affected accounts reportedly set to close on Dec. 31. The notices mark an escalation in the exchange's pullback from parts of the region, forcing customers to move assets or convert holdings ahead of the year-end deadline. The move matters because it affects retail access to one of the largest global exchanges and could push volumes toward rival platforms or self-custody. What to watch next is whether more countries receive similar notices and how quickly affected users migrate assets before the deadline.
