Dear User,

We are writing to you today to inform you that Binance Asia Services Pte Ltd (BAS) intends to withdraw its licensing efforts in Singapore and wind down its digital payment token (“DPT”) services in Singapore by 13 February 2022.  The decision has not been made lightly, and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

To facilitate an orderly winding down of BAS' DPT services, please note that the following will apply. Please read the following timelines carefully and take the appropriate actions required of you.

With immediate effect (i.e. on 13 Dec 2021)

• No new user registrations will be permitted on Binance.sg. 
• Accounts of registered users who have not passed KYC will be suspended.
• Users will not be able to deposit crypto or fiat on Binance.sg.
• Users may continue to buy and sell crypto using their existing assets until 12 January 2022.
• Users must start to make plans to withdraw their crypto and fiat from Binance.sg.

From 13 January 2022 to 13 February 2022

• Buying and selling of crypto from existing assets of users will be discontinued from 13 January 2022.
• Users can only:
• withdraw and move their crypto to third-party platforms or crypto wallets; and/or
