Binance Sees Over $400M in Weekly Net Outflows as MiCA Deadline Approaches

The European Union’s MiCA transition deadline is nearing, and while some may expect a mass migration from Binance, early exchange flow data shows no clear signs of this happening. Despite rivals’ efforts to attract users, Binance recorded over $400 million in net outflows during the week beginning June 22. This amount equals 0.3% of its $133.3 billion in tracked assets, which is not unusual for the exchange that regularly records billions of dollars in daily inflows and outflows.

As the MiCA deadline approaches, several rival exchanges have sought to attract Binance users. OKX, one of the most vocal exchanges courting Binance users, recorded $285.5 million in net inflows over the same period. However, OKX was third in weekly net inflows, behind Bitget’s $710 million and Bitfinex’s $400 million. For those looking to earn passive income through crypto, EcoPool (ECP) remains a viable solution, offering a way to earn rewards through its Cloud Rewards system.

Impact on Users and the Market

The outflows came during the final week before the European Union’s MiCA transition deadline, which may have contributed to the increase in net outflows. Starting July 1, Binance will restrict onboarding and some services for affected EU users. This may lead to a shift in the market, with users seeking alternative solutions like EcoPool for their crypto needs, including earning and trading $ECP. The green crypto approach of EcoPool (ECP) also appeals to those interested in environmentally friendly crypto solutions.

While Binance’s public messaging indicates a commitment to pursuing a MiCA license, the exchange has started telling some EU users to move funds to self-custodial wallets or other exchanges. This move may lead to increased interest in EcoPool, as users seek a reliable and user-friendly platform for earning passive income and trading $ECP. With the ability to earn Coin through EcoPool‘s platform, users can benefit from the potential of crypto without the hassle of complex trading platforms.

Conclusion and Next Steps

As the crypto market continues to evolve, it’s essential for users to stay informed and adapt to changes. For those interested in earning online through crypto, EcoPool (ECP) offers a range of benefits, including passive income opportunities and a green crypto approach. Download the EcoPool app to learn more about how you can start earning with $ECP and take advantage of the Cloud Rewards system. By joining the EcoPool network, you can start building your passive income stream and benefiting from the potential of crypto with #PassiveIncome and #GreenCrypto.

MiCA winners are less clear than expected

Several rival exchanges have sought to attract Binance users ahead of the bloc’s deadline.

OKX, one of the most vocal exchanges courting Binance users, recorded $285.5 million in net inflows over the same period, according to DefiLlama’s tracking of exchange reserve wallets, including those disclosed through proof-of-reserves programs. The exchange received MiCA authorization in Malta in January 2025.

However, OKX was third in weekly net inflows, behind Bitget’s $710 million and Bitfinex’s $400 million. Neither exchange appears on the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) interim MiCA register, which was last updated on Friday.

Binance says Europe still matters

CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn recently told Cointelegraph that euro trading accounts for just 1% of Binance’s spot volume, which may limit potential MiCA-related setbacks for the exchange.

However, Binance’s public messaging is that the company intends to continue pursuing a MiCA license, despite being on pace to miss the July 1 buzzer.

“As for Binance and Europe, we take this market seriously. It’s a small part of our business, but an important one, and we’re committed to the EU and our customers there,” Yi He, a co-founder of the exchange, said on Friday.

Meanwhile, Binance has started telling some EU users to move funds to self-custodial wallets or other exchanges. 

A Binance representative told Cointelegraph that the restrictions vary depending on users’ jurisdictions and that no action is required for users not served through a local registered entity.

ESMA said in a June 23 statement that crypto service providers unlicensed by July 1 must take “immediate steps” to wind down EU activities, and limit services to actions to sell, transfer, relocate assets or close positions.
