Binance restructures global services after securing three ADGM licenses in Abu Dhabi

On January 5 2026, Binance detailed immediate changes to how it delivers products and services worldwide, following the award of three new ADGM licenses in Abu Dhabi. The exchange will now route services, contracts, data control, clearing, and custody through three distinct ADGM-regulated entities, including Nest Exchange Limited and Nest Clearing and Custody Limited. Open on-exchange derivatives positions are being cleared through Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, while users’ access, balances, and trading functionality on the platform remain unchanged.
