Gulf Binance got the green light in May to operate as a proper digital asset exchange and brokerage. Now, after this recent approval, they're all set to officially start their services.

Right now, it's an invite-only thing, but later on, they plan to open up to everyone in 2024. This digital platform wants to help people trade both cryptocurrencies and digital tokens. Gulf Binance is very focused on making sure everything is super safe and follows the rules laid out by the SEC.

Gulf Energy Development is a big deal in Thailand, especially in the natural gas world. They've invested in lots of different areas, like making power in a clean way, building things, and working on digital stuff. They've even put money into Binance's U.S. branch, Binance.US, showing they trust Binance a lot.

Binance and Gulf Energy started working together in 2022, and this move into Thailand is a big step for Binance in that part of the world. It's part of their plan to be a major player in the global crypto scene.
