According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is introducing a referral challenge in Pakistan, offering participants the chance to win a BYD Shark. The campaign, titled 'Refer & Ride,' runs from December 1 to December 29, 2025, and invites users to refer friends to Binance to unlock rewards totaling up to $40,000 in USDT across three distinct pools. Each successful referral, defined as a friend who completes their first trade, earns the referrer a raffle entry for the BYD Shark, with no limit on the number of entries. The activity period is set from 2025-12-01 12:00 (UTC) to 2025-12-29 23:59 (UTC). Participants must opt-in by clicking the [Opt-In] button on the Activity page and obtain their unique referral link from the [Referral] page. Successful referrals require the referred friends to sign up, complete account verification (KYC), and execute their first trade. Rewards will be calculated and distributed after the campaign concludes. The campaign features three reward pools: the KYC Referral Pool, First-Time Trader Pool, and New Registration Pool. The KYC Referral Pool offers $10,000 in USDT, unlocking once 2,000 referrals complete account verification. Each qualifying referrer receives $5 in USDT, limited to the first 2,000 users. The First-Time Trader Pool provides $20,000 in USDT and a BYD Shark raffle entry for referrals completing a trade of $50 or more. The raffle activates after 3,000 first trades. The New Registration Pool, also worth $10,000 in USDT, unlocks once 2,000 new users complete KYC, with each receiving $5 in USDT. Eligibility is restricted to Pakistan-based Binance users who have completed KYC. Referred users must also be Pakistan-based and complete KYC to qualify. Terms specify that only trades on eligible pairs count towards the total trading volume. Binance reserves the right to disqualify users for dishonest behavior and will distribute token voucher rewards within four weeks post-activity. The validity period for token vouchers is 30 days from distribution. BYD is not affiliated with the campaign, and the raffle is solely organized by Binance. Winners will be contacted via email and must respond within 30 days to claim their prize. Binance retains the right to amend or cancel the activity at its discretion.

According to PANews, Kazakhstan's central bank is contemplating an investment of up to $300 million in cryptocurrency tools. On November 28, Timur Suleimenov, head of the country's regulatory body, disclosed this information during a press conference. Suleimenov clarified that the investment amount could range from $50 million to $250 million, rather than the full $300 million. He noted the challenges posed by the current downturn in the cryptocurrency market, which has led to a reevaluation of monetization and profitability prospects. Suleimenov emphasized that the funds for this potential investment are not sourced from Kazakhstan's national fund but from the central bank's gold and foreign exchange reserves. Within this framework, a portfolio has been established to invest in high-tech stocks and other financial instruments related to digital financial assets. However, the regulatory body is not rushing into these investments. Suleimenov stated, "We will not make hasty decisions until favorable investment opportunities arise. Given the current decline in digital, financial, and crypto assets, we need to wait and observe before making investment decisions. We are not in a hurry."
