CZ Says Political Forces Caused Binance Greece MiCA Withdrawal

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said Binance’s MiCA licensing application in Greece was fully compliant and reportedly nearing approval from an EU regulator before being withdrawn.

He said the reversal was driven by what he called “political forces,” adding that although speculation has linked the situation to ECB President Christine Lagarde, he has not seen any official evidence to support those claims.

In a separate comment, CZ also addressed Strategy’s STRC preferred stock, noting that its structure remains difficult for him to understand fully and appears overly complex. He clarified that his remarks should not be interpreted as a judgment on Michael Saylor’s credibility.
