Binance Enters Syrian Market as Sanctions Ease

Crypto giant Binance has expanded its footprint into Syria, taking swift action after recent U.S. and EU policy shifts cleared the path for engagement.

The exchange now offers full trading access to Syrian users, including spot, futures, and peer-to-peer markets, alongside its Binance Pay remittance service.

The move comes shortly after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio lifted economic sanctions on May 23, followed by the European Union’s decision to drop all remaining restrictions.

With Syria no longer flagged as a restricted region under Binance’s compliance framework, users can now access the platform—provided they complete identity verification via Know Your Customer (KYC) checks.

Syrian traders gain entry to over 300 tokens, including Bitcoin, XRP, Dogecoin, SHIB, Toncoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Binance is also rolling out Arabic-language educational content to help new users understand crypto tools and risks.

This re-entry marks a milestone for the war-torn country, where financial infrastructure has long been strained. With millions of Syrians still abroad and remittances playing a crucial economic role, Binance’s presence could offer a new lifeline for cross-border payments and digital financial access.
