This time it was also not a compulsion but binance's own initiative.
Binance has indeed won many success stories when lobbying for many financial development programs in several countries. As far as they operate the most worldwide, they seem to be the first crypto company to gain the trust of the government. Last time I heard they were working with the government to build an exclusive bitcoin-friendly area called "bitcoin island" (iirc) in a country in southeast asia (I forget which country).
