The pitch of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York has come under fire after a low-scoring T20 World Cup match between Sri Lanka and South Africa.

Cricket analysts and players alike have voiced their concerns about the pitch conditions, which made for a challenging game for the batters.

The Pitch and Outfield Under Scrutiny

Sri Lanka opted to bat first on the uneven pitch in the first T20 World Cup match in New York. South Africa’s Anrich Nortje led the charge, helping bundle Sri Lanka out for a mere 77 runs in 19.1 overs.

Despite the low target, South Africa also struggled to score, taking 16.2 overs to chase down the runs with just six fours hit throughout the match.

t20-world-cup-2024-debate-over-new-york-pitch

The sticky surface and inconsistent bounce made scoring tough for both teams. A lush outfield further slowed down the ball, making it difficult to accumulate runs.

The game saw only 157 runs scored at a run rate of 4.42 runs per over, the lowest in any men’s T20 World Cup match to date.

Cricket pundits have criticized the pitch conditions, calling it a poor representation of T20 cricket.

The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, built specifically for this competition, will host seven more group-stage matches.

The most anticipated match is the showdown between India and Pakistan on Saturday. With the pitch already under scrutiny, all eyes will be on how it plays in the upcoming games.

Conclusion

The debate over the pitch at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium is heating up. While some see it as a test of true cricketing skills, others believe it hampers the essence of T20 cricket.

As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see how the pitch holds up and whether it will continue to be a talking point.

Viral Clip Shows Babar Azam Body-Shaming Azam Khan While Training

Jun 4, 2024

Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam recently found himself at the centre of a social media storm after seemingly body-shaming teammate Azam Khan during their first training session in Dallas on Sunday.

In a viral video that quickly went viral, Babar can be seen allegedly saying, “Yeh Gainda nahi siddha hoya (This rhino hasn’t gotten straight yet)” during a light-hearted football session.

The term ‘Gainda,’ which translates to ‘rhino,’ is often used mockingly to refer to overweight individuals. Babar was instructing Azam to turn and get in line, saying, “siddha ho (get straight).”

Azam Khan’s Recent Struggles

Azam Khan has been under fire for his performance in the last few series. In the recently concluded T20I series against England, he managed to score just 11 runs in the two matches he played. His wicket-keeping skills were also called into question after he dropped a couple of easy catches.

Several former cricketers and fans have questioned Azam Khan’s place in Pakistan’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.

Critics argue that his current form and fitness levels do not meet the standards required to represent Pakistan at the international level.

Amidst this backlash, Azam recently deleted all posts from his Instagram account, sparking speculation that this move was in response to the criticism he has been receiving.

A Divided Opinion

The nickname triggered a heated debate on social media. Some fans dismissed it as harmless banter, while others criticized Babar for body-shaming Azam Khan.

Some see it as a typical instance of locker-room banter, something common in sports teams worldwide.

On the other side, there is concern that such comments can be damaging, especially when directed at someone already under intense public scrutiny.

Banter or body-shaming? The debate rages on. What’s clear is that the Pakistan cricket team will need to rally together, supporting each other through thick and thin.

Mohammad Kaif Disrespects Pakistan’s Batting, Brands Them ‘Weak’

mohammad-kaif-calls-pakistan-batting-lineup-weak

As the T20 World Cup 2024 heats up, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has sparked a new debate by calling Pakistan’s batting line-up ‘weak.’

With the highly anticipated game between arch-rivals Pakistan and India set for June 9 at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, Kaif’s comments have added an extra layer of intrigue.

Mohammad Kaif’s Take on Pakistan’s Batting

Kaif didn’t hold back in his assessment of Pakistan’s batting lineup. He stated that apart from one or two players, most of Pakistan’s batters play at a strike rate of 120 to 125, which he believes is insufficient for T20I cricket.

“Everyone knows Pakistan’s batting is weak. Fakhar Zaman plays a little fast. If he fires, he can probably win the match alone,” Kaif told Star Sports.

fakhar zaman

“Iftikhar Ahmad plays fast, but other than that, everyone plays at a strike rate of 120 to 125. You are not that scared of their batting but are scared of their bowling.

Kaif did acknowledge the presence of aggressive hitters like Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed. He praised Zaman for his ability to single-handedly win matches when in form, and he recognized Ahmed’s quick scoring ability.

However, Kaif’s comments suggest that beyond these two, Pakistan’s lineup lacks the explosive power needed to dominate in T20 cricket.

Praise for Pakistan’s Bowling Attack

While Kaif was critical of Pakistan’s batting, he had nothing but praise for their bowling attack. He highlighted the danger posed by pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah, particularly recalling Naseem’s impressive spell against India in the 2022 T20 World Cup.

mohammad-kaif-calls-pakistan-batting-lineup-weak

“They will have Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. Naseem Shah didn’t come to play in the World Cup in India. He was injured, but he is fit here. This will be a bouncy pitch,” Kaif added.

“Naseem Shah is a very good bowler. If you talk about the Melbourne match that Virat Kohli won, if you see Naseem Shah’s first spell, he got a nick and the catch was dropped at slip.”

The India-Pakistan rivalry in T20 World Cups has historically been dominated by India. Out of the seven encounters, India has won five matches, with Pakistan winning only one.

The remaining match ended in a tie, with India clinching victory via a bowl-out in 2007. Pakistan’s sole victory came in 2021 when Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan led the Green Shirts to a ten-wicket victory.

As the teams prepare for their upcoming clash, Kaif’s comments are sure to resonate. Fans and analysts alike will be watching to see if Pakistan can prove him wrong by delivering a stellar batting performance or if their renowned bowling attack will once again be their saving grace.

Karandaaz and PostEx Partner to Digitise Cash on Delivery Payments in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, May 03, 2024: Karandaaz Pakistan, an impact investment platform dedicated to driving sustainable economic growth and strengthening financial and social protection systems for inclusion, announced its partnership with PostEx, a leader in e-commerce logistics with over 20,000 registered merchants and a customer base of over 20 million. This collaboration aims to transform Pakistan’s e-commerce landscape by digitalising cash-on-delivery (COD) payments.

This partnership falls under Karandaaz’s e-commerce value chain digitalisation initiative, which seeks to revolutionise the e-commerce industry with a particular focus on converting cash to digital payments, fostering a vibrant digital economy with new opportunities.

Cash on Delivery (COD) remains the dominant payment method in e-commerce, accounting for approximately 90% of all transactions. This heavy reliance on cash presents a significant growth hurdle for the e-commerce industry, leading to operational inefficiencies and costs associated with managing liquidity.

Despite the demand for digital payments at the doorstep, there is currently a lack of available payment options for customers. This partnership aims to address this issue by introducing various digital payment methods, such as QR codes, pay-by-link, and software point-of-sale systems, at the customer’s doorstep.

The project will be rolled out as a pilot in six major cities to assess customers’ value proposition and willingness to adopt these payment methods, and to evaluate the business case for digital payments for e-commerce service providers. The goal is to drive cashless transactions and gather valuable insights that demonstrate the benefits of going digital, thereby influencing e-commerce industry transformation.

Waqas ul Hasan, CEO Karandaaz, stated: “This collaboration is a significant milestone in our mission to establish a cashless economy in Pakistan. By advancing our broader agenda of creating a digital nation, we aim to contribute towards economic growth and development through innovative financial solutions. Our partnership with PostEx is crucial in realising our vision of a digitally empowered Pakistan, where seamless digital transactions become the norm, benefiting both consumers and businesses alike.”

Jawad Mirza, CEO PostEx Logistics, emphasised: “To tackle one of the biggest challenges in Pakistan, cash, we need to come up with innovative solutions to unlock the real potential of Pakistan. It is partnerships like these that have the potential to really push the markets in the right direction. Understanding the unique needs of the consumers and building innovative solutions is the only way to digitise COD, which contributes to over 95% of total transactions in ecommerce. Having over 30% of the market share, PostEx is well positioned to reach the masses, and with the help of Karandaaz, will be able to educate and enable millions for digital payments.”

Sharjeel Murtaza, Director of Digital Financial Services at Karandaaz, commented: “E-commerce has been a crucial driver of economic growth globally. The dominance of cash transactions has been a significant barrier which has to be removed with innovative solutions. Our pilot program with PostEx targets one of the biggest barriers, that is lack of trust, in local context. Simply put, it is the fear of not receiving what has been ordered despite the payment being processed at the time of ordering and no credible pathway to dispute resolution. With this partnership, we will enable digital payments at the door step which will not only help resolve the challenges related to cash in circulation instantly, but also induce the required trust in digital payments. By leveraging the learnings, we aim to build a robust digital payment ecosystem that enhances the consumer experience and fuels the growth of e-commerce businesses in Pakistan.”

Karandaaz’s collaboration with PostEx marks a significant effort towards realising a digital ecosystem. This transformative initiative aims to revolutionise the e-commerce payment landscape, promote the digital economy, and foster sustainable economic growth in Pakistan.

Budget 2024-2025: Is There Any Good News For Pakistanis?

By

Jun 3, 2024

The upcoming Federal Budget for 2024-25 is not just a financial document but a crucial indicator of Pakistan’s economic direction and growth. With the previous fiscal year’s growth rate at a low 3%, the lowest in 77 years, and a fiscal deficit ranging between 6% and 7% of GDP, the new budget carries significant expectations.

Income Generation and Fiscal Policies

To address the fiscal deficit, the focus should be on enhancing income generation while cutting down unnecessary expenditures. Broadening the tax base without imposing new taxes or increasing existing rates is essential. Pakistan’s tax-to-GDP ratio is notably low compared to countries like China, Egypt, India, and Malaysia. By broadening the tax base and improving tax collection, the government can boost its revenue significantly.

Tax Structure Reforms

A critical reform is to enhance direct taxes and reduce indirect taxes. Lowering indirect tax rates can stimulate every economic sector, increase savings, and trigger investments, thus supporting higher economic activity. The retail and wholesale sectors, despite being substantial GDP contributors, contribute minimally to the national exchequer. Digitizing transactions and monitoring retail activities through advanced systems like the FBR’s POS system can ensure better tax compliance.

The budget should also focus on increasing growth in key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and social development. Investing in human resource development, education, health, and skill development, especially in the IT sector, is crucial. This investment will drive increased production and create jobs, contributing to a more robust economy.

Equitable Tax Burden

Addressing the tax burden disparity is vital. The salaried class currently bears a disproportionate tax burden compared to other sectors. Rationalizing salary tax rates and reviving tax credits for investments in mutual funds, house building loans, and insurance premiums can alleviate this pressure. This change is necessary to prevent the brain drain, which sees around 800,000 skilled individuals leaving Pakistan annually.

To reduce expenditures, implementing stringent review requirements over staff and operational costs, and setting a recurrent expenditure reduction target of 10%, can generate significant savings. Introducing measures to constrain pension spending growth and optimizing budget allocations for pensions can also help manage fiscal expenditures better.

Guidelines for Effective Budgeting

For an effective and sustainable budget, the government should adhere to several guidelines. Defining priorities, involving stakeholders, relying on actual data, and maintaining transparency are crucial. Clear communication of budget decisions can promote trust and accountability, ensuring the budget reflects community needs and priorities.

The Federal Budget 2024-25 must focus on broadening the tax base, reforming the tax structure, investing in key sectors, and managing expenditures efficiently. These measures are essential to reduce the fiscal deficit, stimulate economic growth, and create a sustainable financial future for Pakistan.

Babar Azam Hits Back at Critics: ‘I’m Not Saim Ayub or Fakhar Zaman’

Babar Azam recently opened up about the ongoing criticism regarding his strike rate in T20Is. Known for his consistent performance across all formats, Babar has been a pillar of strength for Pakistan. However, his strike rate in T20 cricket has often been a point of debate.

His ability to score runs consistently places him among the greats of the game. Despite this, his strike rate in T20Is, which stands at 130, has been a frequent topic of discussion. Critics argue that he takes too long to get going, especially in the shortest format of the game.

In a candid conversation on the PCB podcast, Babar Azam addressed this criticism. He acknowledged that while his strike rate can be improved, it’s not something that can change overnight.

He emphasized the importance of playing according to the situation rather than adhering to a fixed strike rate.

azhar-ali-backs-babar-azam-captaincy

“There’s usually a lot of debate over my strike rate, but one has to see what the situation demands. You can’t keep on playing with the same strike rate too as you might struggle.”

Babar also highlighted that cricket is a dynamic game where the approach can vary based on conditions, form, and match situations. He explained that while some matches might require a high strike rate from the start, others might need a more cautious approach.

“If you’ve played with a strike-rate of 150, you might not be able to replicate that in the next match. You might start slowly but then take off suddenly and accelerate,” stated the star batter.

“The general opinion is that whatever the wicket is like, the strike rate must be high. I play a bit differently, I take a little time to get the game going.”

babar-azam-backs-saim-ayub-usman-khan-despite-failures

Addressing comparisons with teammates like Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman, who are known for their aggressive style, Babar admitted that his game is different. He doesn’t start hitting sixes from the first ball but focuses on building his innings and gradually increasing his strike rate.

“I can’t start hitting sixes from the get-go, I can’t be a Saim Ayub or a Fakhar Zaman for that matter. As far as my performance is concerned, I am aware of how I can improve and enhance my game about what shots to develop,” he added.

Babar remained optimistic about improving his strike rate further. He mentioned that he has already made progress, raising it from 130 to 135-140, and is confident of increasing it even more by continuously working on his game.

“I stick to my cricketing shots and apply the basics, the batting strengths rely on. I can’t say that I’ll start hitting sixes from tomorrow. But I know how I can bring improvement to my game,” he concluded.

Jun 3, 2024

In a surprising move, Pakistan wicket-keeper Azam Khan has either deleted or hidden all his posts on Instagram, sparking speculation among fans and critics alike.

This sudden disappearance from social media comes amidst a storm of criticism over his fitness and his selection in Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad.

Azam Khan has often been the target of harsh comments regarding his weight. Despite proving his abilities in various T20 leagues both in Pakistan and internationally, his fitness has always been a point of contention.

azam-khan-deletes-every-post-on-instagram

The recent backlash intensified after his underwhelming performance in the T20I series against England, which concluded just a few days ago.

In the final T20I against England, Azam’s performance was far from ideal. He dropped two crucial catches and bagged a duck. Pakistan ended up losing the four-match series 2-0, with two games washed out due to rain.

This series of unfortunate events seems to have fueled the criticism, leading to Azam deleting all the posts from his Instagram account.

azam-khan-deletes-every-post-on-instagram

Azam Khan has been an active user of Instagram, regularly sharing pictures and videos. However, his account now shows zero posts. He hasn’t provided any explanation for this sudden change, leaving fans and followers in the dark.

The timing suggests that the negative feedback following his performance might have prompted him to take a step back from social media.

Since his international debut in July 2021, he has played 12 innings but has managed to score only 88 runs at an average of 9.7. However, his teammates and coaching staff have always backed him despite failures.

The T20 World Cup 2024 has just kicked off, and excitement is in the air as fans eagerly await standout performances. With the tournament being held in the United States and the West Indies, featuring a record 20 teams, it’s set to be a thrilling event.

Here are five players, who can light up the tournament.

Travis Head: Australia’s Run Machine

Travis Head has become a key player for Australia in recent years, proving his worth across all formats. His spectacular 137 runs off 120 balls helped Australia secure their sixth World Cup title in 2023.

In IPL 2024, he played for Sunrisers Hyderabad and scored 567 runs in 15 innings at a blistering strike rate of 191.55. Despite a playoff stumble, Head’s form has been electrifying, making him a vital asset for Australia in the T20 World Cup.

Phil Salt: England’s Aggressive Opener

Phil Salt is one of England’s most dynamic T20 batters. During IPL 2024, he represented Kolkata Knight Riders and amassed 435 runs in just 12 innings.

Salt’s aggressive style makes him a key player for England as they aim to defend their title. Alongside stars like Jos Buttler and Will Jacks, Salt’s performance at the top of the order will be crucial for England’s success.

Virat Kohli: India’s Batting Maestro

Virat Kohli needs no introduction. The Player of the Tournament in both the 2014 and 2016 T20 World Cups, Kohli remains a force to be reckoned with.

He was the top scorer in the 2022 T20 World Cup and dominated IPL 2024 with 741 runs. As India begins their World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5, all eyes will be on Kohli to lead the charge once again.

Heinrich Klaasen: South Africa’s Six-Hitting Sensation

Heinrich Klaasen is a crucial player for South Africa, known for his ability to hit sixes at will. In IPL 2024, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, he scored 479 runs and smashed 38 sixes.

Teaming up with David Miller, Klaasen’s power-hitting makes him a formidable opponent for any team. South Africa will rely on his skills to make a deep run in the tournament and try to remove the ‘choker’ tag.

Shaheen Afridi: Pakistan’s New Ball Wizard

Shaheen Shah Afridi is renowned for his devastating new-ball spells. He’s the first bowler to take 50 wickets in the first over of T20 matches, a stat that highlights his impact.

Alongside Naseem Shah and Mohammad Amir, Afridi forms one of the most lethal bowling attacks in the world. Pakistan will look to him to lead their quest for a second T20 World Cup title, especially with his knack for early breakthroughs.

As the T20 World Cup 2024 unfolds, these five players will be at the centre of the action. Their performances could be the difference-makers for their teams, providing plenty of excitement for cricket fans worldwide. Keep an eye on these stars as they light up the tournament!

Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Nawaf bin Saeed Ahmed Al Maliki, made a special announcement for the Pakistan cricket team. If the Green Shirts win the T20 World Cup 2024, the team will be the royal guests on Hajj next year.

This remarkable gesture adds another layer of motivation for the Men in Green as they gear up for the tournament.

Pakistan is set to start their T20 World Cup journey in Dallas on June 6 against co-hosts United States of America (USA), and the team is eager to make a strong start.

Best Wishes from Saudi Arabia

In a heartfelt video message, Saudi Ambassador Al Maliki extended his best wishes to the Pakistan cricket team.

“My message to my brothers of the Pakistan cricket team is that God willing, you will win this tournament,” he said.

“The Pakistani people will celebrate the team’s success in the World Cup.” He also expressed his prayers for Pakistan’s prosperity and development, adding that if Pakistan wins, the team will be royal guests on Hajj next year.

Past Glory and Near Misses

Pakistan has tasted T20 World Cup glory before, winning the title in 2009 by defeating Sri Lanka at Lord’s Cricket Ground. Shahid Afridi was the star of the match, earning the Player of the Match title.

Since then, Pakistan has come close to winning the title twice. In the 2021 T20 World Cup, they reached the semi-final but lost to Australia. Despite a strong performance, Matthew Wade’s late-game heroics secured the win for Australia.

In the 2022 T20 World Cup, Pakistan reached the final against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Ben Stokes, England’s hero from the 2019 ODI World Cup, once again delivered under pressure, leading his team to victory.

As the T20 World Cup 2024 approaches, Pakistan’s cricket team is more motivated than ever. With the added incentive of a royal Hajj visit, the Men in Green have an extra reason to aim for the top.

Fans around the world will be eagerly watching to see if Pakistan can capture the title once again and earn this incredible honour.

Zulqarnain Sikandar is an Internet personality and YouTuber, known for his comedic and popular videos. Zulqarnain shares videos featuring his wife and daughter. More often than not, he is pranking the two. Though most of his pranks are light-hearted, and loved by all his followers, his recent one was not. Zulqarnain Sikandar’s latest ‘second marriage’ prank on his wife, and mother, left fans disappointed and disheartened.

How Zulqarnain Executed This Prank

Initially, we see Zulqarnain’s sister-in-law with him, and he addresses her as his second wife. Suggesting that in this prank, she will be playing that role. The vlog then shows his wife, Kanwal, leaving for the salon, explaining she will be out for a tentative 3-4 hours. This gave Zulqarnain the perfect opportunity to lay out his prank.

After Kanwal left, the props and costumes for the prank were arranged. Right before she came home, the two took positions and sat in the lounge. The new bride, covered in a veil, and the groom in flowers. He even covered the car in flowers!

Funny enough, Kanwal enters Zulqarnain speaking to his supposed new wife, “I am so glad that my daughter is getting along with you, my biggest concern was you two getting alone,” In complete utter shock, Zulqarnain’s wife enters, with his mother right behind. After a brief explanation of what has been done, the scene turns into complete dramatic chaos. Shortly after, it was revealed that the situation was just a prank.

Fans Disappointed

Turns out not everyone had a good laugh. Too many were quick to identify the fake nature of this prank. Others raised concerns about the effect this may have had on their young daughter. The reality is, such mainstream pranks are usually scripted, regardless they are there for a good laugh, and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

How Binance Is Connecting Pakistan To The Global Crypto Economy

In the past, Pakistan has experienced tremendous growth in cryptocurrency adoption. This growth can be attributed to a multitude of factors, including the country’s large population of tech-savvy individuals, its rapidly growing economy, and its relatively low levels of financial inclusion.

However, a major driver behind this growth is Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. The exchange offers a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin (BNB), and an easy way for Pakistan nationals to trade on the platform and gain maximum leverage.

Accessibility for Everyone

Binance has also taken steps to make its platform accessible to all Pakistan nationals. The exchange has launched a dedicated Pakistani website in Urdu and in English, and it has also provided an easy way for individuals to trade with cryptocurrencies by sending payments through the P2P trading feature.

As a result of Binance’s efforts, Pakistan has become one of the most active crypto markets in the world. Only in 2021, Pakistanis traded over $20 billion worth of cryptocurrencies on Binance platform. The growth has not stopped and according to Chainalysis, Pakistan is the 8th biggest cryptocurrency trading country and 9th biggest P2p trading country in the world.

This growth is expected to continue in the coming years, as more and more Pakistanis adopt cryptocurrencies.

Here are some of the specific ways that Binance has helped to connect Pakistan to global crypto markets:

Wide range of cryptocurrencies

Binance offers over 600 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin (BNB). This allows Pakistani users to trade a variety of cryptocurrencies, including those that are not available on other exchanges.

Launchpools & Earning Options

Binance has made it easier for any Pakistani national to earn cryptocurrencies not just by trading but a multitude of earning options available on Binance platform like Dual Investment, Simple Earn, Staking, Launchpools, and others.

Simplified KYC Process

Unlike other crypto exchanges that either require a lot of documentation or take a lot of time to approve KYC processes, Binance does that within 24 hours. This makes it easier for anyone with an NIC and a mobile number to easily register themself on the platform and start trading.

Support & Education

Binance has also launched Binance academy that allows Pakistanis to easily learn about cryptocurrencies from the comfort of their home. The academy doesn’t only talk about trading and features of the platform, but also shares light on cryptocurrencies in detail. This helps Pakistani users to identify which cryptocurrency is worth investing in and make a sensible investment decision.

P2P Registered Merchants

Binance also allows users a safe way to trade on the platform by buying USDTs. Users can visit the P2p section on Binance and trade with registered merchants directly. This allows them to buy USDTs at a fair price and without getting defrauded from scammers. These registered merchants also keep a collateral of $5000 with Binance to ensure that they deal in fairness.

Work on Cryptocurrency Legislations

Binance is already working on legislation around cryptocurrency trading across different countries like the United Arab Emirates and South Africa. It has even offered the Pakistan government to help with legislation to ensure that crypto trading takes place in a safe environment in Pakistan.

Inclusion & Diversity

With the help of Binance, women in Pakistan are also able to trade on the platform without any issues and anonymously. They can even buy cryptocurrencies directly from P2p traders and then either trade or invest on the platform as and when needed.

Employment Creation

With Binance P2p features, many Pakistani traders are now directly trading on the platform as a merchant. They are not only registered on Binance but also running their own businesses by registering their exchanges with the government. These registered merchants are a source of job creation for the local public and they also bring in revenue directly generated from the Binance platform.

Funding for Pakistani Startups

Binance is also creating an ecosystem for crowdfunding startups that are created on the BNB chain. This also gives Pakistani startups a chance to use Binance platform not only to raise funds but also to get a community to back and test their software even before it is launched in public.

Binance’s Role in Financial Inclusion

Binance has also launched its own prepaid debit card with cryptocurrency payments. This allows individuals who plan to convert their crypto into FIAT, to do so directly with the help of the debit card. The debit card also ensures that all the Binance funds are safe in a physical card.

What steps is Binance taking to stay compliant?

Binance is using some of the best practices to ensure that it remains compliant with Pakistani financial guidelines. These include:

Ensuring a complete KYC process for all its Pakistani users
It is already in discussion with Pakistani government to get licensing within the country.
Implementing surveillance technology to protect platform from scammers and money launderers
Creating regulatory technology (RegTech) procedures for seamless banking and compliance within the country.

Final Words

As a matter of fact, Binance’s efforts in integrating Pakistan into the global cryptocurrency markets have proven to be highly effective.

As of now, Binance is the number one cryptocurrency platform in the country that is used widely and also has a community to offer support and help as and when needed. By providing a user-friendly platform and a wide range of cryptocurrency offerings, Binance has significantly increased accessibility for Pakistani users. This has not only facilitated the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Pakistan but also contributed to the substantial growth of the local crypto market, and also has become a source of job creation for many Pakistanis.

The exchange’s commitment to expanding crypto literacy and providing robust trading options has solidified its position as a pivotal player in the financial evolution of Pakistan.
