Is Binance available in Spain?
As of June 2026 Binance is available to residents of Spain. Its Spanish entity has been on the Banco de España register of virtual asset service providers for anti money laundering purposes since July 2022, and Spain has run a Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) transition period to 30 June 2026, with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) as the competent authority. Binance's own MiCA authorisation path is still developing, so confirm the current position on the CNMV and ESMA registers before acting.

How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of June 2026 Binance is available to Spanish residents. Binance's Spanish entity, Moon Tech Spain, was added to the Banco de España register of virtual asset service providers in July 2022 for anti money laundering purposes, which covers exchange and wallet custody services. Spain has run a MiCA transition period to 30 June 2026, supervised by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV). Binance operates in the European Union during this period, and reporting indicates its own MiCA authorisation path is still developing, including an application reportedly under review in another member state. Because the framework is moving to full application, confirm the current position and any authorisation on the CNMV and ESMA registers before acting.
Is the platform available to residents
As of June 2026 Spanish residents can generally register with Binance and use the platform. Binance's Spanish entity, Moon Tech Spain, was granted registration on the Banco de España register of virtual asset service providers in July 2022, allowing it to offer exchange of virtual currency for fiat and custody of wallets under Spanish anti money laundering law.
That registration is an anti money laundering measure and is not the same as a MiCA crypto asset service provider authorisation. Spain has run a MiCA transition period to 30 June 2026, during which existing providers can continue operating while authorisation is sought. Reporting indicates Binance operates in the bloc through a group passport during the transition and that its own MiCA application has been under review. Availability and authorisation can change, so confirm the current status on the CNMV and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) registers (as of June 2026).
The regulator and the framework
In Spain the Banco de España maintains the register of virtual asset service providers for anti money laundering and supervises issuers of certain tokens, while the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) is the competent authority for crypto asset service providers under MiCA. Binance's Spanish entity is on the Banco de España register.
Since 30 December 2024 the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets regulation, known as MiCA, applies across the bloc, coordinated with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Spain extended its transition period for crypto asset service providers to 30 June 2026, after which only providers authorised by the CNMV or another European authority can operate. The CNMV has set out that a provider without valid authorisation would need a customer plan, which can include facilitating withdrawals or migration to an authorised entity. Confirm the current status on the CNMV and ESMA registers (as of June 2026).
How residents access the platform
Residents typically access Binance through its website and app after completing know your customer verification, which Binance applies as part of its anti money laundering controls. Spanish clients generally fund in euros, though available options can change.
The product set centres on spot trading across a broad asset list, with certain products restricted or adjusted to meet European rules. Binance has previously aligned some European product offerings with regulatory expectations, so confirm what is offered to a Spain account in the app. Products, supported assets, and fees change over time, so confirm the current options before trading (as of June 2026).
Tax treatment
Tax on crypto for Spanish residents is administered by the Agencia Tributaria, the Spanish Tax Agency. Gains on disposals are generally taxed as savings income, and there are reporting duties that can include declarations of assets and of crypto held abroad. This page does not give tax advice. For how crypto is treated in Spain in general terms, see the Spain tax page, and confirm your own position with a qualified local professional before filing (as of June 2026).
Binance is available to Spanish residents and on the Banco de España register, and other providers, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Bitpanda, also serve Spain, some under a full MiCA authorisation. Availability, authorisation, fees, and protections vary, so compare the exchanges available in Spain before you choose.
