How to Use Binance Pay in Bhutan DK Bank
Binance Pay is a contactless, borderless, and secure cryptocurrency payment technology that allows users to send and receive crypto payments seamlessly. Bhutan has emerged as a global pioneer in cryptocurrency adoption, becoming the first country to officially integrate digital assets into its financial system through partnerships with platforms like Binance.

Bhutan made history in 2023 when its central bank announced a landmark partnership with Binance to develop a national digital currency infrastructure. Key developments include:

- DK Bank integration: Selected Bhutanese banks like DK Bank were authorized to facilitate crypto transactions
- Tax incentives: Zero capital gains tax on crypto transactions to encourage adoption
- Mining initiative: Using Bhutan's abundant hydroelectric power for eco-friendly Bitcoin mining
