Binance has told users in several European countries to pull their crypto out before fees kick in. The affected accounts are reportedly set to close on December 31. Users in Spain, France and Poland say they've received similar notices from the exchange.
What the notices say
The message to customers is blunt: move your assets before the new charges apply, because the account itself won't be around much longer. Binance hasn't publicly detailed which fees it plans to introduce or why the accounts are being shut, and it hasn't said how many users are affected. The notices surfaced through user reports rather than an official announcement.
Spain, France and Poland
Customers in all three countries describe receiving the same warning. That geographic spread suggests a regional pullback rather than a one-off account cleanup. Whether users in other EU markets got the same message isn't clear from the reports so far.
The December 31 deadline
Year-end is the hard stop. Anyone who leaves assets in place past that date risks losing access to them once the account closes. The practical advice for affected users is simple: withdraw first, ask questions later. Binance hasn't said whether there's an appeals process or whether balances left behind would be recoverable.
Questions Binance hasn't answered
There's no public explanation yet for the fee structure or the closure rationale. Nor is there a list of affected countries beyond the three where users have spoken up. Binance hasn't responded publicly to the reports. For now, the only concrete date on the calendar is December 31 — and the only concrete instruction is to get your crypto out before then.
