The KRYPTO exchange Binance has made progress in Kazakhstan, which could be crucial for the company, especially in view of the regulatory hurdles with which it is confronted in other countries. The Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) has granted Binance to the first fully regulated platform to offer the trade with crypto-assets. In the future, Binance can not only act cryptocurrencies, but also offer their custody - an important step that could strengthen the trust of users.

Vishal, the head of the regional markets at Binance, emphasized the need for clear regulatory framework during the expansion to Kazakhstan. This shows that Binance tries to gain a foothold in a constantly developing market that is increasingly complicated due to strict requirements for the financial sector.

Regulatory challenges in other regions

Despite these positive developments in Kazakhstan, Binance continues to face significant challenges. In the United States, the company was forced to hire business due to regulatory violations in several states, including Washington, New York and Texas. These difficulties are based primarily on non-compliance with regulations on the security of customer funds and the laws against money laundering (anti-Money-Lundering, AML) and the know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.

However, the regulatory problems are not limited to the United States. In the United Kingdom, too, Binance faces a precise review by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The company criticized this and severely restricted the activities, since Binance was unable to provide the necessary information about its business practices. These gaps in regulatory compliance could have serious consequences for the credibility and operation of the company.

In the middle of these challenges, Changpeng Zhao, better known as CZ, takes a back seat. It was excluded from the company's management by the US authorities. This was done as part of a comprehensive investigation by the US Justice Ministry (DOJ). ZHAO, who has managed the company for a long time, retains some shareholders, but its influence on daily management is severely restricted.

He has already announced that he will concentrate on investments in emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence and biotechnology. This departure from the operational role in Binance could present the company with the challenge of reorienting itself without the vision and leadership of such a influential founder.

Market developments and future prospects

In this context, the expansion to Kazakhstan could be seen as a turning point for Binance, especially since the market for crypto-assets continues to fluctuate. The course of the in-house coins BNB has so far not been able to benefit from developments in Kazakhstan, which is due to a generally tense situation in the crypto market.

However, a new player on the market could bring a breath of fresh air: Pepe Unchained, a Memecoin based on its own Layer 2 blockchain, recently attracted great attention. While the crypto market remains stagnating overall, Pepe Unchained has already collected over $ 12 million through its presale.

The blockchain technology of Pepe Unchained offers lower transaction costs and up to 100 times faster speed compared to Ethereum, which makes the project particularly interesting for investors. The high staking reavers could create additional incentives to keep their own coins instead of selling them.

Investors have the option of participating in this presale to acquire tokens at cheaper prices before they are listed in crypto exchanges. With the more growing possibilities in the crypto area today, competition remains hard, and companies like Binance must remain innovative and adaptable to stay in the game.
