Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that users in Syria will now be able to trade digital assets on its platform.
The decision follows the United States’ move last month to lift long-standing economic sanctions on the country.
In a statement released Thursday, Binance confirmed that Syrian users will gain full access to its services, including trading over 300 cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. The company also revealed that the Syrian pound will now be accepted for buying and selling digital assets on the exchange.
This development comes after a surprise policy shift by the U.S. administration last month. President Donald Trump announced the end of sanctions against Syria, citing a request from Saudi Arabia, which has been a strong advocate for reintegrating Syria into the global economy.
Syria’s new leadership, an Islamist-led government that assumed power after the ousting of former President Bashar al-Assad in December, is moving swiftly to restore key public services and improve digital infrastructure, aiming to revitalize a country battered by 14 years of civil war and decades of international isolation.
