Thailand has ample potential to become a cryptocurrency hub in Asia-Pacific, says Binance, as the world’s largest crypto exchange operator identified three pillars to capitalize on growth in the fast-growing region.
SB Seker, the new head of Asia-Pacific for Binance, was quoted by local media as saying that Thailand has a lot of potential to further develop the digital asset space, supported by a clear legal framework, crypto awareness among the population, and the macroeconomic point of view.
In terms of legal stability, Thailand is ahead of many countries in Asia-Pacific regarding regulations and framework. He said awareness of crypto is moderately high in the country, though there’s always room for further education.
According to Chainalysis’s latest annual report, Thailand ranked 17th in the 2025 global crypto adoption index and seventh in Asia-Pacific, following some of the world’s most dynamic and populous market.
Other factors include greater disposable income and the ability of people to make plans about various assets or treasury options, he said.
Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission data indicated the value of digital assets in Thailand as of August was nearly THB100 billion ($3.08 billion). There were 2.83 million digital asset accounts last month, up from 2.43 million accounts last year.
Thailand has room for further growth. These improving statistics show Biance the opportunity is high for Thailand to develop as a digital asset hub within the region, said Seker.
Thailand is critical for Binance to achieve its ambitious goal of reaching 1 billion users by the end of this year.

Zcash (ZEC) is on fire, folks! The price has skyrocketed by an astonishing 300%, and it’s turning heads across the crypto and business realms. This surge, driven by institutional interest and a wave of privacy-focused innovations, brings some serious questions to the table. Could Zcash be about to change the game for crypto treasury management in SMEs? Let’s dive in.
What’s behind this jaw-dropping growth? Well, for starters, Grayscale launched its Zcash Trust, which poured a boatload of money into the ecosystem. This kind of institutional backing is a big deal; it gives Zcash some serious street cred and shows that businesses are starting to look for privacy-centric cryptocurrencies to manage their crypto treasuries.
But that’s not all. Zcash’s zk-SNARKs technology means confidential transactions that are particularly appealing to industries that need to keep things under wraps, like fintech and gaming. As more companies start to dip their toes into crypto, Zcash’s unique features might just become too good to pass up, especially for those considering crypto payroll integration and crypto mass payouts.
Now, let’s talk about how Zcash could fit into payroll systems for SMEs. On one hand, Zcash could bring some much-needed privacy into payroll solutions, which is a major plus in industries where discretion is key. But on the flip side, Zcash’s price volatility is a massive risk for companies, most of whom are still more comfortable with stablecoins due to their predictability and quicker processing times.
Still, the growing appetite for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies could push more fintech startups to take a closer look at Zcash for payroll purposes. Especially as younger generations push for “pay me in crypto,” Zcash might just find itself at the center of the payroll conversation.
But hold your horses—Zcash’s rise isn’t without its fair share of regulatory challenges. The EU is gearing up to ban privacy coins, including Zcash. By July 2027, crypto service providers in the EU may not even be able to list or support privacy coins. That’s a tough blow for mainstream adoption.
This looming ban creates a complex regulatory landscape that could deter institutional investment and complicate compliance. Businesses interested in using Zcash will have their work cut out for them, perhaps having to adopt some hybrid compliance solutions that keep privacy in check while still playing nice with regulations.
If Zcash is going to be a player in payroll, companies will need to figure out how to deal with its price swings. One approach could be dollar-cost averaging, where they buy Zcash gradually over time to smooth out those fluctuations. Crypto treasury APIs could also be a useful tool, automating transactions and helping to manage some of that volatility.
And hey, offering employees the option to receive part of their salary in stablecoins? That could be a solid way to keep everyone happy while still enjoying the perks Zcash has to offer.
In short, Zcash’s incredible price surge might just mark a turning point for crypto treasury management in SMEs, showcasing a growing interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. While there are plenty of opportunities here, the regulatory and volatility risks could be significant roadblocks.
As the crypto landscape continues to change, Zcash’s ability to adapt will be crucial. If it can navigate these challenges, Zcash could redefine how businesses think about crypto treasury management, ushering in a new era of financial possibilities.

The Pi Network has achieved a significant milestone, with over 12,000 applications created on its newly launched Pi App Studio platform in less than two weeks.
This achievement coincides with a roughly 3% increase in the price of Pi Coin (PI) over the past day. However, an expert warns that the PI may face challenges ahead unless the team implements some major changes.
The Pi Core Team unveiled the no-code app development tool on Pi2Day. Pi App Studio leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enable users, regardless of technical expertise, to design decentralized applications (dApps) by simply inputting prompts.
This ease of use has made it popular among users, as a prominent Pioneer, Dr Altcoin, highlighted recently.
“The new Pi App submissions for the AI App Studio have surpassed 12,000!” the user posted.
Dr. Altcoin suggested that Pi Network has the potential to become the largest crypto project in history, even if only half of the submitted dApps are fully functional and approved. He pointed to several factors driving this potential.
These include Pi Network’s large KYC-verified user base, broad global reach in over 200 countries and regions, and distinctive requirement for KYB approval from centralized exchanges and businesses using Pi. Additionally, Pi Network leads the industry with the highest number of community-developed dApps.
“All of this will organically and significantly boost the price of Pi in the years ahead,” the Pioneer noted.
Meanwhile, PI has shown signs of recovery. BeInCrypto data showed that the price rose 2.98% over the past day. At press time, Pi Coin’s trading price was $0.47.
However, the uptick is not due to Pi App Studio’s popularity but rather a market-wide rally driven by Bitcoin’s new record high. Furthermore, the small gains seem hardly enough to bring PI out of its nearly two-month-long slump.
BeInCrypto reported previously that despite several ecosystem developments, the price has failed to reverse its downtrend. Misleading claims, user disappointment, and rising exchange reserves have further weakened the case for a bullish rally.
Pi Coin’s price is just 16% away from its all-time low, and an expert claimed that it is ‘doomed to collapse below $0.40.’ Nevertheless, the Pioneer outlined several actions the team can take to save this sinking ship.
“If PCT (Pi Core Team) implements just 2 of the following 11 actions, the community can regain confidence, and the price can steadily rise again,” Pi Barter Mall stated.
Some of the strategies outlined include releasing a clear mainnet launch timeline, introducing DAO governance, and implementing token burn and buy-back programs. The user also proposes restarting mining rewards, providing incentives, launching liquidity pools, lending, staking, and cross-chain compatibility.
Furthermore, Pi Barter Mall stressed the importance of restoring user trust by sharing team holdings and addressing previous KYC restrictions.
“Without real action, Pi will lose the final layer of trust. But if PCT chooses the right path, we could witness a historic reversal,” the user concluded.
Previously, Ray Youssef, CEO of NoOnes, shared a similar perspective on Pi Network’s future. He emphasized that its success hinges on the team’s ability to move beyond the hype and focus on execution. The executive highlighted the importance of transitioning to an open mainnet, allowing free trading on public blockchains.
Youssef noted that this shift would enable price discovery and greater participation, key elements for the network’s long-term growth and sustainability.
“For Pi to sustainably reach or exceed $10 in a real market, it will need to have a full mainnet launch with open transfers, listings on high liquidity exchanges, a real economic layer, where people use Pi to buy, sell, or pay for services, and controlled inflation to ensure newly unlocked tokens don’t flood the market,” Youssef told BeInCrypto.
Thus, while the team continues to roll out new apps and updates, it still needs to go beyond these surface-level improvements and focus on the fundamentals to drive real price rally and sustainable growth for the network.

A social media user attests that side chics receiving monthly allowances from a man have the legal right to challenge the man’s will in court.
According to him, if these side chics can provide any documents such as a bank statement, there is a way to challenge the will of the man.
The influencer @Morris_Monye revealed that he had recently learned about the existence of laws protecting a man’s hidden girlfriend or side chic. He advised men to prioritize safeguarding their families.
He wrote;
“If as a man, you die and you leave a Will for your family, your side-chick can contest that Will if and if she can prove in court that you’ve been sending her money monthly via bank statement. Provisions are made for beneficiaries and dependents. She falls under dependents. I’m just learning this now now”
He clarified that because she is the deceased man’s dependent, a man’s hidden lover may contest the validity of the will.
The social media influencer responded in the comment area, confirming that the law is in place under Lagos State Government law.
