The biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, is playing an unexpected role in international affairs. Binance is currently counselling a number of nations on how to create their own laws governing digital assets and national bitcoin reserves after entering a guilty plea to U.S. criminal charges in 2023.
Binance CEO Richard Teng discussed the increasing interest from countries keen to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets in an interview with the Financial Times. Teng emphasized the United States’ progressive stance under President Donald Trump, pointing out that the country is setting the standard with a well-defined regulatory framework and even preparing a national bitcoin reserve.
Teng claims that other nations have been motivated to adopt a similar proactive approach. He highlighted that when it comes to digital assets, the U.S. is far ahead of most other countries, and as a result, Binance has been approached by multiple countries asking for help in creating crypto regulations.
Though Teng didn’t disclose the name of any countries specifically, he confirmed the organization was working with a number of governments. This is only a year and a half after Binance entered a guilty plea to criminal charges related to illegal money laundering and sanctions violations.
Teng promised that the business had advanced significantly, saying, “We are now in a form and shape that regulators appreciate much more compared to the past.”
Binance attracted additional media attention during this month because the exchange company started advising Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan about implementing crypto regulation while assisting with blockchain technology implementation. The company Teng confirmed that Binance offers its expertise to governments worldwide and sovereign wealth funds for establishing digital asset reserve systems.
The price of Bitcoin established its highest value at $108,000 shortly after Trump won elections in November 2025, yet investors lost 10% of their value at the start of 2026 due to increasing doubts about Trump’s tariff policy.
Binance has made a historic transformation to become a respected global authority in the crypto sphere. The exchange’s collaboration with countries to create digital asset regulations demonstrates an ongoing industry development that pushes forward crypto’s worldwide economic recognition.
