Crypto exchange Binance opens trading to Syrians after US lifts sanctions

Following the recent removal of U.S. sanctions on Syria, Binance has enabled Syrian users to access its cryptocurrency trading platform.
The removal of sanctions came after a new government assumed control in Syria in December, following prolonged turmoil and decades of economic limitations imposed by foreign powers.
Syrian users now have complete access to Binance's platform, enabling them to buy and sell cryptocurrencies through the Syrian pound and trade a wide range of over 300 digital assets, including stablecoins.
Binance described cryptocurrency as a crucial resource for many, highlighting that Syria has around 24 million residents and a significant diaspora exceeding 8 million people.
This expansion could aid Syria’s economic reintegration and access to financial tools amid ongoing recovery efforts.
