This week reminded me of something I rarely feel in crypto anymore, a sense of progress that actually looks real.

Watching Binance CEO Richard Teng sit down with Pakistan’s leadership didn’t feel like the usual noise. It felt like the kind of engagement that lays real groundwork for a regulated digital asset space.

The Binance and JazzCash MOU from December 10 also landed differently because it is practical and relevant. This is the type of bridge that can bring Web3 to everyday users instead of keeping it limited to traders. The update that stood out the most for me was Binance confirming its AML registration under PVARA as it moves toward full VASP licensing and local incorporation. That kind of step is what builds trust over time. What makes all of this even better is that it feels like the beginning of real, sustainable crypto growth rather than another headline cycle. 🇵🇰
