[ad_1]

Binance France first audited financial records covering 14 months between the company’s inception in November 2021 and December 2022 showed that the exchange recorded a loss of €4 million.

Throughout the period, Binance France incurred total expenses of €14 million to cover its staff payroll, marketing, administrative costs, taxes, and professional fees. However, it only generated €10 million in revenue during the same period.

The exchange explained that the loss was due to the fact that it had generated income for six of the 14 months of expenses. Although it began operating in November 2021, the exchange did not serve its clients until it obtained regulatory approval from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) in mid-2022.

Meanwhile, the exchange said it expects to turn a profit in 2023 when it has a full year of revenue to match operating expenses.

RSM Paris, one of the leading audit service providers, audited Binance France.
