Binance UK Director Teana Baker-Taylor said:
“Interest and participation in the UK digital asset markets is growing; not just in-depth with its current participants, but also in breadth. As crypto services mature and evolve, we’re able to create new options to engage and capture interest from a wider audience with varying risk appetites, such as products that earn a yield for participation, like staking and passive savings.”
Per Binance Blog, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said:
“The U.K. is a significant financial epicenter with London being the second-largest financial center in the world and the leading market for foreign exchange. As part of our local market growth efforts around the world to bring more tangible financial access through the power of digital assets and its technology, the U.K. is at the forefront of spurring larger interest in the region and throughout Europe. We hope Binance.UK will serve as a stepping stone for the next generation of finance.”
