Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng’s discussions with policymakers advanced conversations on regulation, industry standards, and blockchain’s future in Pakistan.A major outcome from these ongoing engagements is Binance’s successful acquisition of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) registration under the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA).
