Coinbase and OKX are offering deposit and transfer bonuses to European users as Binance prepares to restrict services due to lacking a MiCA license. The moves come days before the July 1 deadline for the new EU crypto rules.
Coinbase is providing a 5 percent transfer bonus to users in Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Sweden and the UK who move funds before July 13. The company, which has held a MiCA license since 2025, highlighted its unified global liquidity in spot and derivatives trading.
OKX is running a larger campaign for European Economic Area residents, with welcome bonuses and deposit matching up to 8 percent. CEO Star Xu posted on X that the platform welcomes users seeking a regulated long-term option as MiCA takes effect.
Binance told users in France, Italy, Spain and Poland that it will suspend some services because it lacks the required license. The firm withdrew its application in Greece last week and said it will seek authorization in another EU country, while assuring clients that assets remain safe and accessible.
