Most people in Pakistan are still adding funds in Binance with the hard way.
P2P chats. Waiting. Screenshots. Stress. Meanwhile, adding funds with a debit card or Apple Pay now feels like a normal checkout.
You tap Buy Crypto, choose your asset, select card or Apple Pay, confirm and the crypto lands straight in your Spot wallet. No middlemen. No “please release funds.” No delays.
On the surface it looks simple. Underneath, Binance is routing payments through licensed channels and converting PKR instantly. That friction removal matters more than people realize.
Yes, there’s a small fee. But speed, certainty, and peace of mind are the trade-off, especially for new users in Pakistan who just want to buy and trade without drama.
Sometimes the upgrade isn’t a new coin. It’s making the first step easier.
For years, crypto was priced on charts, hype, and narratives. BTC $BTC set the tone and everything else followed sentiment. The strongest signal now is onchain fundamentals.
DeFi is radically transparent. Revenues, fees, deposits - all visible in real time on-chain.
And often, these metrics move long before price does.
Key DeFi metrics to watch:
▪ TVL - how much capital users trust the protocol with. Not perfect, but a solid proxy for scale and confidence.
▪ Fees / Revenue / Holder Revenue - what users pay, what the protocol keeps, and what token holders actually earn. Critical for token valuation.
▪ Volume - real user activity. Market share matters more than absolute numbers.
▪ Open Interest - how much capital is truly committed to derivatives. A key signal for depth and resilience of perp platforms.
▪ Stablecoin Supply - net capital inflows into the ecosystem. One of the strongest leading indicators.
▪ App Revenue (Network GDP) - how much real economic activity a blockchain generates.
How to use this in practice:
▪ Look for consistent growth, not one-off spikes
▪ Track stocks + flows (TVL with revenue, OI with volume)
▪ Factor in unlocks and incentives - they often create price pressure
🔻 If deposits and revenues grow together, the project is truly scaling
🔻 If only activity grows, it may be artificially stimulated
