He's pointing out that Binance have been stopped from any regulated activities such as derivatives. Trading spot crypto is unaffected, so no they haven't 'banned' Binance in the UK. There were quite a few FUD headlines saying this yesterday so I don't blame you for hyperventilating all over it but unfortunately it's a nothing burger.

Here is another nothingburger - DOUBLE WHOPPER SIZE:
"Binance customers frozen out of withdrawals via key UK payment network
Move comes shortly after Britain’s financial watchdog cracked down on the crypto exchange
Binance customers have lost the ability to withdraw and deposit pounds using one of the main UK payments systems three days after the country’s financial watchdog banned the crypto exchange from operating in Britain. On Monday the digital asset company said on its main exchange, Binance.com, that the ability to remove sterling from the platform through a system known as Faster Payments had been “suspended for maintenance”. Binance did not say how long the outage would last and declined to immediately comment on the notice."

As it was said above - this is NOTHING, which happens exactly the same amount you can withdraw from unauthorised equities exchange - enjoy your nothing-to-withdraw-burger-without-cheap-slice-of-cheese

"Binance UK customers blocked from card withdrawals
Binance customers met with message cash withdrawals are 'down for maintenance'
Almost two million UK bitcoin traders have been blocked from cashing in their cryptocurrency gains after trading hub Binance suspended the use of bank cards.
The ban on card withdrawals leaves customers with no easy way of taking out their funds, and comes after Binance previously blocked transfers directly to a bank account. It follows a rare intervention by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which has said the company cannot offer regulated finance services.
Customers who sought to withdraw funds using their cards on Tuesday morning were met with a warning saying "this payment channel is closed for maintenance”. Deposits using cards were also prohibited.
Cayman Islands-registered Binance is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, processing $1.5 trillion (£1.1 trillion) in worldwide crypto transactions per month with millions of customers, and has surfed a wave of enthusiasm for bitcoin as prices surged during Covid."
