“By joining forces with CM-Equity, Binance will be able to broaden our services in Europe while ensuring compliance with local regulations,” said Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.

CM-Equity CEO Michael Kott said his firm is a “fully licensed digital assets platform” and will benefit from Binance’s liquidity and other services.

Binance has been increasing its focus on Europe. Earlier this year, the exchange hired former Huobi executive Josh Goodbody for leading growth in the continent and Latin America. Last week, Binance said its crypto payments card would debut in Europe and the U.K. in August.
