Historical snapshot based on PANews reporting published November 7, 2026, at 17:17 UTC+8. Dates and statuses below reflect that report, not subsequent confirmation of execution.
November 9 and 17: regulatory milestones
November 9 — scheduled publication of a U.S. rule withdrawal. According to a FinCEN announcement cited by PANews, FinCEN and the Federal Reserve Board planned to withdraw their October 27, 2020 proposal to lower the cross-border transfer recordkeeping and “Travel Rule” threshold from $3,000 to $250. The withdrawal notice was scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on November 9. The existing $3,000 threshold would remain unchanged.
November 17 — Russian crypto directive scheduled to take effect. TASS reported that Russia’s central bank had identified Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT as assets available to non-qualified investors. The related directive was due to take effect on November 17, allowing exchanges to make those assets publicly available for trading.
November 29–December 31: Binance France account closure timeline
PANews reported that Binance announced it would close Binance France user accounts and cease business in France on December 31, 2026, because it had not obtained EU MiCA regulatory authorization. Deposits were already unavailable at the time of reporting.
The reported schedule was:
- Before November 29: Accounts that withdrew all assets would avoid management fees.
- From November 29: Accounts retaining assets would face a monthly 0.025% management fee, with a 10 USDC minimum. Fees would be deducted from USDC first.
- Within three days after November 29: The first fee deduction was scheduled; the second was scheduled for after December 24.
- After December 31: Unwithdrawn assets could be treated as belonging to inactive accounts and could be converted, transferred or otherwise handled.
These were announced terms, not evidence that the closure had already occurred.
December 7–10: Coinbase’s ZETA migration window
According to Coinbase Assets, Coinbase planned to migrate native ZetaChain ZETACHAIN to Ethereum-based ZETA between December 7 and 10. ZETACHAIN order books had already moved to limit-only mode. Trading was scheduled to be disabled on December 7, with deposits and withdrawals also affected. Existing holders of Ethereum-based ZETA were not affected.
Unresolved discrepancy: The same PANews report also cited an earlier ZetaChain announcement that ZETA would migrate to a Solana-native token on December 9, with the ZetaChain L1 shutting down around the same time. The supplied report does not reconcile these different destination networks; they should not be presented as a single confirmed migration path.
Other pending milestones
Binance withdrawals — target, not confirmed completion. Binance said it was working to reopen withdrawals for HYPE, INJ, APT, PLASMA, NEAR and LTC before next weekend. It also planned to reopen withdrawals for all tokens on restored networks, including BSC, ETH, MATIC, ARB, POL and OP, by that point. The report did not assign an exact calendar date. Binance had already resumed additional asset withdrawals in batches on November 5 and 6.
U.S. 401(k) rule — final review, not in force. Bloomberg reported that a Labor Department rule potentially allowing retirement plans to include crypto and other alternative assets had reached the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for final review. It had not taken effect, and individual plans would still decide whether to include those assets.
