Consequences of AFS License Barrier Stated
After this blow to the Binance Australia side, an article was published about the differences in derivative exchanges. After the cancellation of AFS, effective from April 14, 2023, customers will not be able to exchange derivative positions or open new positions with Binance. Binance will require clients to close all existing derivatives positions before April 21, 2023. On April 21, 2023, Binance will close all remaining open positions.
The terms of the cancellation include a provision that the cancellation will have no impact on Binance’s requirement to continue as a member of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority until the end of April 8, 2024.
