Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has officially reopened its full suite of Binance Earn products to eligible UK Professional Users, following updated guidance from UK regulators.
The move comes after financial authorities clarified that staking does not fall under the definition of a collective investment scheme, and after a detailed reassessment of exemptions under both the Financial Promotions Order and the Promotion of Collective Investment Scheme Order.
Who Gains Access?
This regulatory shift allows high-net-worth entities, investment professionals, and other exempt categories in the UK to once again utilize offerings such as:
• Simple Earn (Flexible & Locked)
• Liquid Staking (WBETH & BNSOL)
• Crypto Loans
• RWUSD
• Super Earn
• On-Chain Yields
• Soft Staking
A Binance representative shared, “UK professional investors have long requested access to our Earn suite. We’re thrilled to now offer these tools in full compliance with local laws. These are sophisticated users who seek dynamic, yield-generating strategies to manage their crypto portfolios.”
Staking: A Strategic Edge for Professionals
Staking is increasingly favored by institutional investors as a yield-generating mechanism that keeps assets within blockchain ecosystems. Unlike lending, staking supports network integrity and offers governance rights, allowing participants to shape protocol decisions.
“It’s not just about returns,” the Binance spokesperson emphasized. “Staking aligns investors with the long-term health of the networks they support, while offering yields that often surpass traditional fixed-income instruments.”
With global interest rates softening, staking yields — some reaching 10% annually — are becoming a compelling option for those seeking passive income without active trading.
🌍 Binance’s Dominance in Global Yield Markets
Binance remains a leader in the staking and yield space. Its WBETH token, tied to Ethereum liquid staking, holds a commanding 20% market share, representing over $9 billion in value. WBETH’s circulating supply has surged 18% in the past month, outpacing other major providers.
Meanwhile, BNSOL, Binance’s Solana-based staking token, boasts $1 billion in TVL and serves more than 150,000 Earn users. It’s deeply integrated across Binance’s ecosystem — from Spot and Margin to Wallet and API — and is the second-largest SOL liquid staking token globally.
🏛️ Institutional-Grade Offerings for UK Investors
By reopening Earn products in the UK, Binance is reinforcing its commitment to delivering institutional-grade solutions, fortified security, and expansive market access to professional investors.
“This isn’t just about restoring access,” the spokesperson concluded. “It’s about empowering UK professionals with the tools to lead the next wave of crypto innovation.”
🛡️ Binance Joins T3+ to Combat Blockchain Crime
In a separate announcement, Binance revealed its membership in T3+, a global alliance aimed at tackling illicit blockchain activity. The initiative — spearheaded by TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs — operates under the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU).
Binance played a key role in the alliance’s first success, helping freeze nearly $6 million tied to a pig-butchering scam, showcasing its dedication to blockchain integrity and investor protection.
