In the past few weeks, the crypto regulatory division has seen an increase in activity after the recent market lull. Recently, the Nigerian SEC announced that it would be taking action against unlicensed crypto exchanges. Amid the actions and other lawsuits, Binance saw an advancement in terms of regulations.&nbsp;
Notably, Tokocrypto, Binance’s Indonesian subsidiary received the Physical Crypto Asset Trader (PFAK) from the country’s Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti). According to Binance’s official <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/blog/regulation/tokocryptos-pfak-license-a-major-milestone-for-binance-subsidiary-and-indonesias-crypto-industry-2296151690731688790?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a>, the regulator had previously in 2019, named Tokocrypto as prospective to be licensed.&nbsp;
The announcement also discussed how the Binance subsidiary had undergone a rigorous licensing process with Bappebti. Additionally, the CEO of Binance stated that the exchange would extensively support Tokocrypto.&nbsp;
Binance CEO, Richard Teng stated:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “Binance is committed to fully supporting Tokocrypto in its mission to drive the growth of the Web3 ecosystem in the region”
</blockquote>
Moreover, the PFAK license would allow Tokocrypto to function as a physical crypto-asset trader in the country. This would grant the exchange with rights to sell, buy, and store crypto assets in wallets.&nbsp;
