Binance is planning to apply for a crypto license from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to re-enter the British market under the upcoming regulatory framework, according to The Telegraph. The application process opens on September 30, 2026, with the new rules set to take effect on October 25, 2027. To qualify, firms will need a physical presence in the UK and must meet strict requirements around authorization, governance, and compliance. Binance is expected to establish a dedicated UK board as part of these efforts. This move marks a strategic shift after the FCA restricted Binance’s local entity in 2021. In response to tightened financial promotion rules, the exchange paused onboarding of new UK users in 2023. Now, Binance appears to be positioning itself for a regulated return.The Crypto Ledger

🚨🚨 $1 TRILLION in global AI spending this year — and Goldman Sachs says we’re still not in a bubble Massive investments are pouring into artificial intelligence, with global spending expected to hit $1 trillion this year. Yet, according to Goldman Sachs, the surge doesn’t yet signal overheating. Behind the numbers: While the figure sounds staggering, analysts argue that demand for AI infrastructure — from data centers to specialized chips — remains strong and fundamentally justified. Unlike past tech booms, today’s spending is driven by measurable use cases and real enterprise adoption, not speculation. That said, caution remains. Rapid growth brings risks — especially around efficiency, regulation, and ROI. But for now, the consensus is clear: this isn’t a bubble. It’s a buildup. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIInvestment #TechTrends #GoldmanSachs #FutureOfAIThe Crypto Ledger
