   For a long time, we have seen a lot of interest in the cryptocurrency market and in particular in crypto education in Georgia. I want to separately emphasize that Georgia is one of the most innovation-oriented countries in the region.

GITA President Avtandil Kasradze highlighted that blockchain-related hackathons and workshops to be held in Georgia’s tech parks will facilitate the formation of new start-up ideas and the implementation of projects aimed at commercialization.

This is not the first educational initiative from Binance in Georgia, a crypto-friendly destination that plans to update its digital asset regulations and legalize the industry. In January, the exchange announced the signing of a memorandum of cooperation with the country’s Business and Technology University (BTU) to offer blockchain education to its students. Binance Academy will provide educational materials on blockchain, Web3, NFTs, and cryptocurrencies.

Binance is involved in similar initiatives in other Eastern European countries, in the post-Soviet space, and in the Caucasus region, as part of its focus on expanding its presence in the region. In December, the global crypto company launched a blockchain education program at Kazakhstani universities and offered to help Azerbaijan with efforts to adopt crypto regulations.
