Binance FZE · Client virtual assets: held and custodied by Binance in the UAE under the UAE Terms. Fiat client money: held in segregated pooled accounts with a licensed third-party banking partner; the public terms do not identify the bank or its precise jurisdiction. · Supported virtual-asset trading and custody; exchange and broker-dealer services; lending and borrowing; virtual-asset management and investment services; and fiat and virtual-asset deposits and withdrawals. Selected off-exchange, clearing, custody, spot, and derivatives services may be provided through the wider UAE entity structure. Margin trading and virtual-asset derivatives are restricted to qualified and institutional investors under the VARA license conditions.
Virtual-asset prices can be highly volatile. Binance’s UAE terms state that client virtual assets and client money do not benefit from a conventional deposit-protection scheme, although client money receives applicable legal protections. Fiat client money is pooled in segregated accounts with a third-party banking partner, while virtual assets are pooled on-chain in omnibus wallets and segregated in Binance’s internal ledger. Retail users cannot access the VARA-licensed margin and derivatives services reserved for qualified and institutional investors.
The assessment is supported by official or independently corroborated evidence.
