Regulatory pressure on crypto promotion and exchange access led PANews’ November 7 roundup. Chinese authorities said they had stopped a Solana event in Shanghai, while the outlet reported that Binance would close French user accounts after failing to secure EU authorization. Elsewhere, tokenized stocks drew issuer objections, and wallet providers investigated unauthorized transactions.
China targets Solana promotion and domestic intermediaries
Citing China’s Financial News, PANews reported that a People’s Bank of China department official said authorities halted “Solana Accelerate China 2026” before it opened. The central bank coordinated with local financial regulators, police and market-supervision authorities.
The official said Solana had advertised on the exterior of the Citigroup Tower in Shanghai’s Lujiazui district through a domestic entity. In the official’s account, promoting Solana violated a notice issued by eight departments in February. Authorities said they would investigate the organizations and individuals involved.
The PBOC also identified domestic virtual-currency dealers and domestic entities affiliated with overseas virtual-currency issuance and trading platforms as priorities for further investigations. These were statements of regulatory intent; the roundup did not provide subsequent investigation findings.
Binance France closure report includes withdrawal deadlines and fees
According to PANews, Binance announced that it would close Binance France user accounts and cease French operations on December 31, 2026, because it had not obtained authorization under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. Deposits were already unavailable at the time of the report.
The reported terms included:
- A monthly management fee of 0.025%, with a minimum of 10 USDC, for accounts still holding assets from November 29.
- A first deduction within three days after November 29 and a second after December 24, with fees taken from USDC first.
- No fee for accounts that withdrew all assets before November 29.
- The possibility that assets remaining after December 31 could be treated as inactive-account assets and converted, transferred or otherwise handled.
Separately, Binance co-founder He Yi rejected a user’s claim that a duplicate UID had caused an asset loss. She said Binance’s local fiat platforms—including those in Thailand, Turkey and the United States—operate independent account systems. According to her account, the user entered a UID when transferring from Binance’s main platform to Binance Thailand without carefully checking the confirmation. She said the funds had been frozen, but contact and negotiations with the recipient were ongoing.
Tokenized stocks: issuer objections are not the same as investor demand
PANews reported that a November 5 public notice from OKXICE TSV, described as an OKX–Intercontinental Exchange tokenized-securities venture, listed 67 objecting issuers, up from 62 on November 4.
Meta, Palantir, S&P Global, KLA and Super Micro Computer were the additions. Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon and Microsoft had already objected.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong offered a contrasting view, saying he supported tokenizing his company’s shares to reach potential shareholders. His comments expressed support for the approach—not evidence of a completed tokenization launch or investor uptake.
Wallet security investigation remained preliminary
Web3Auth said a security issue had affected some third-party platforms and that it had paused embedded-wallet services. Its initial investigation had not found affected MetaMask users.
Keplr reported unauthorized transactions involving some accounts created through Google or Apple login. Its preliminary assessment indicated that seed-phrase and hardware-wallet accounts were unaffected, while social-login accounts could be exposed. Google and Apple login functionality had been suspended as the investigation continued.
ETF outflows provide a separate market signal
SoSoValue data cited by PANews showed $412 million in net outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs on November 6, Eastern Time. BlackRock’s IBIT recorded $403 million in net outflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC attracted $42.8235 million in net inflows.
Those figures describe fund flows, not the quality of individual crypto projects. Likewise, the reported regulatory actions, issuer objections and preliminary security findings should not be treated as interchangeable evidence of adoption or decline.
