Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the expansion of its Binance Earn product suite to qualifying UK Professional Users, as per information shared with Finbold on August 14.
The move follows UK regulatory clarifications confirming that staking is exempt from collective investment scheme classification, plus a review of exemptions under the Financial Promotions Order and Promotion of Collective Investment Scheme Order.
Staking demand rises
Binance can now offer UK professional users its full range of earning products, including Simple Earn (Flexible and Locked), Liquid Staking (WBETH and BNSOL), Crypto Loans, RWUSD, Super Earn, On-Chain Yields, and Soft Staking. The offering targets qualifying high-net-worth companies, investment professionals, and other exempt categories.
“Professional investors in the UK have been asking for access to our Earn products, and we are excited that today we can deliver that in full compliance with local regulations,” said a Binance spokesperson. “These are sophisticated clients who understand the asset class and want innovative, flexible tools to grow and manage their crypto portfolios.”
Staking has become increasingly popular among professional investors as it maintains assets within blockchain protocols while offering competitive yields up to 10% annually and governance rights.
“Staking is unique because it’s not just about returns,” explained the spokesperson. “It’s about alignment. Professional investors see it as a way to actively contribute to the long-term success of the networks they believe in, while earning yields that often outperform traditional fixed-income products.”
Market leadership
Binance’s Ethereum liquid staking token WBETH holds a 20% market share worth over $9 billion, with circulating supply growing 18% in the past month—the fastest among major providers. Its Solana token BNSOL commands around $1 billion in TVL with 150,000+ users, making it the second-largest SOL liquid staking token globally.
“Binance has unmatched reach and infrastructure,” concluded the Binance spokesperson. “This is more than just reopening access,” the Binance spokesperson concluded. “It’s about giving the UK’s professional investors the tools they need to lead in the next chapter of the crypto economy.”
