🚨 U.S. SEC has officially ended its 4-year investigation into Aave
- Probe began around 2021–2022 during the DeFi crackdown - Focus was likely on whether $AAVE or protocol activity fell under securities laws - Aave cooperated throughout the process
Aave founder Stani Kulechov said the investigation took major effort and resources.
For now, Aave moves forward without immediate U.S. regulatory action.
The Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) has officially issued NOCs to Binance — a major milestone for the industry. This clears the way for Binance to begin AML registration, set up a local entity, and work toward full Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) licensing.
A huge step toward regulated, secure, cross-border crypto services under Pakistan’s forward-thinking framework. The ecosystem is evolving fast — and this move accelerates it even further.
Pakistan's PVARA issued No Objection Certificates to Binance and HTX on Friday, allowing them to prepare for full licensing with anti-money laundering registration and local setups. CZ met with finance ministers alongside Binance CEO Richard Teng to discuss regulation and adoption, while the country signed a non-binding deal with Binance to explore tokenizing up to $2 billion in bonds and reserves. This step aligns with global standards, formalizes activity for Pakistan's 30-40 million crypto users, and marks a new chapter for regulated platforms in a nation of over 240 million people.
