Changpeng Zhao announces Kyrgyzstan’s inclusion of Binance Coin (BNB) in national crypto reserve.

Highlights

  • Kyrgyzstan has become one of the countries that included Binance Coin (BNB) as an official cryptocurrency reserve.
  • Also, Binance has introduced education and blockchain training in Kyrgyzstan.
  • With the increasing adoption and other Binance partnerships, BNB price continues to gain momentum.

Kyrgyzstan has made a significant move in the adoption of digital finance. It has now included Binance Coin (BNB) on its list of National Cryptocurrency Reserves. This was announced by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) who disclosed a number of other crypto milestones in the country.

Kyrgyzstan Launches CBDC and Stablecoin on BNB Chain

According to CZ, Kyrgyzstan has launched its National Stablecoin on the BNB Chain. At the same time, the country’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is ready for rollout.

CZ also confirmed that Binance is deeply involved in the country’s crypto ecosystem. The inclusion of BNB is an indication of an increased trust in the token and the Binance ecosystem by institutions.

This follows a period of strong market performance, as BNB recently outperformed major digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. In addition, the move also enhances the coin’s application as a utility asset to cross-border and national digital finance networks.

Both initiatives will be used for government-related payments and other public transactions. The move positions Kyrgyzstan as one of the few nations simultaneously deploying a stablecoin and a CBDC on a blockchain developed by a private crypto firm.

Binance Promotes Cryptocurrency Study in Kyrgyzstan

Besides the integration of this token, Binance is increasing the level of crypto education and community presence in Kyrgyzstan. The exchange’s academy is partnering with ten top universities in the country to provide blockchain and cryptocurrency training.

CZ also mentioned that there are law enforcement training programs being undertaken to enhance the awareness of crypto compliance and security. As an additional sign of helping local users, the Binance App has been localized to include the Kyrgyz language.

Another important meetup that was organized by Binance took place in the capital of Bishkek, where more than a thousand were present. The event is a positive representation of the government’s adoption of digital assets and the increasing popularity of the blockchain technology globally.

Binance Deepens Web3 Partnerships as BNB Price Increases

CZ also noted that Binance was able to include EthSign, a Web3 identity and contract protocol, in a partnership with Kyrgyzstan. He said the firm and YZi Labs, its partner, helped the country in its digital transformation.

CZ suggests that the crypto firm simply tries to create more strategic value instead of financial investment by creating collaborations that adds real blockchain use cases. Recently, Binance compensated users after a recent Ethena USDe depeg event. This and other proactive actions have also reinforced user trust in the platform.

After the announcement, BNB price experienced a small upwards movement. Its price is currently $1,113 after a gain of 0.36% in the last day.

It increased by 3.93% over the last one week. The token’s price action shows renewed investor confidence following its continued adoption in sovereign and institutional markets.
