- In an announcement provided to CoinDesk on Monday, Binance said all deposits to the local platform will be disabled on Oct. 30, and trading and other services will cease on Nov. 9.
- A hard shutdown, expected Nov. 30, will see all accounts become inaccessible.
- Launched in January 2019, Binance Jersey provides a fiat-to-crypto exchange for users trading with euros and UK pounds against a limited choice of crypto assets.
- Binance said its global service, Binance.com, now offers GBP deposits via the U.K.'s Faster Payments scheme, as well as SEPA payments for the euro. It also offers trading pairs against both currencies.
- As such, the company said, the growth of services on Binance.com has "extinguished the rationale for Binance Jersey as a distinct exchange."
- Binance still maintains other local arms, including the recently launched Turkey division and others in nations such as Uganda.
- A U.K. institutional exchange is set to launch sometime this year, the firm has previously confirmed.
- A Binance spokesperson couldn't comment on the progress of the U.K. arm when asked by CoinDesk.

Bitcoin’s $70,000 to $80,000 zone highlights gap in historical price support
Five years of CME futures data shows where bitcoin has, and has not, built meaningful price support.
What to know:
- Bitcoin has spent relatively little time between $70,000 and $80,000, just 28 trading days, making that level among the least developed price ranges in terms of historical consolidation and support.
- This lack of time spent is reinforced by Glassnode’s UTXO Realized Price Distribution, which shows limited supply concentrated between $70,000 and $80,000, suggesting that if another pullback occurs, bitcoin may need to consolidate in this zone to establish stronger structural support.
