Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is accelerating efforts to establish a foothold in Ireland. According to the Irish Independent, Binance has registered a fourth legal entity in Ireland.

Binance is settling on a küresel head office to solve compliance difficulties after years of decentralized operations. Binance’s founder and CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, said on November 19 that the company had chosen a location for its headquarters.

In September, Binance established three businesses in Ireland: Binance (APAC) Holdings, Binance (Services) Holdings, and Binance Technologies. Binance Exchange is the name of the new company (Ie). Zhao told Reuters in October that Binance is eyeing Ireland as a location for its global headquarters.

Historically, we claim that we don’t have headquarters,” he explained. “We are actually just in the process of establishing a few headquarters in different parts of the world.”

When asked if Ireland was part of Binance’s intentions to construct a headquarters, Mr. Zhao said, “Yes, it is.” He refused to reveal any further information on the country’s plans.

According to an interview with French publication Les Echos in November, Zhao reportedly revealed his plans for offices in France. During the interview, Zhao teased, “France would be a natural choice for a regional, and perhaps even global, head office.”

Binance co-founder and chief marketing officer Yi He confirmed to Business Insider earlier this month that the company has limited its preferred location for a physical headquarters down to approximately five options, including those in Europe.

Binance has faced regulatory pressure from governments all around the world, including Japan, the United Kingdom, and even crypto-friendly Singapore.

Binance said in September that Singapore residents would no longer be allowed to trade cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin on its main platform, Binance.com. 

Binance announced in August that it would be discontinuing its futures and derivatives offerings in Europe. In a number of other nations, it also has limited product options.

Ireland has long been a preferred destination for European offices for American tech giants such as Apple and Google, thanks to its cheap taxes. 

The administration of Dublin, on the other hand, agreed in October to raise taxes on large multinational corporations from 12.5 percent to 15 percent.
