Major Milestone in the Middle East after Sanctions Removed
Binance’s entry to the Syrian market is seen as a major milestone for cryptocurrency adoption in the Middle East.
It represents a geopolitical shift and a move to foster economic integration with international markets, financial systems and innovation after the removal of US sanctions on Syria, a country that has battled a decade of civil war, international sanctions and economic isolation.
The removal of sanctions was announced last month by the U.S. President Donald Trump, a huge advocate for crypto.
The move came as a surprise to many and president Trump said the decision was influenced by Saudi Arabia, who advocated for the removal of sanctions to promote regional stability and economic cooperation.
Trump said, “I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness. It’s their time to shine. Good luck Syria, show us something very special.”
