Binance will support the SERC to develop the legal framework for regulating and bolstering the digital asset industry. Furthermore, the company will share technical expertise and experience in digital asset operations and conduct training on digital assets.
The SERC has not issued a digital asset license to any entity. However, the country is developing regulations due to the rising demand for crypto and blockchain in the country.
ស៊ូ សុជាតិ, Delegate of Royal Government in Charge as Director-General of SERC, said:
“We hope to implement the digital asset innovation in the right way to Cambodia through the collaboration with Binance. We are working to develop proper regulations and expect this MoU to be a stepping stone for our future regulatory work”
The adoption of blockchain and digital assets is high in Southeast Asia. In fact, Cambodia has the potential to become a leading market. Binance hopes to resolve the digital assets deadlock in the Cambodian market by providing extensive and professional knowledge of digital assets.
Cambodia’s Ministry of Finance and Economics stated in April that it’s illegal to create, distribute, or trade cryptocurrencies in Cambodia. The country has been mostly focused on its CBDC plans. A renewed approach toward digital assets will further reduce their dependence on the U.S. dollar.
