I'm quite puzzled. I've been trying to deposit GBP into my Binance account for the past few days, but it seems like the option isn't available. I've checked my account settings and made sure that everything is correct, but still no luck. Is there a specific reason why I can't deposit GBP into Binance? Could it be a technical issue, or is it something to do with the regulations in my country? I'd really appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me. After all, GBP is a major currency and it's quite inconvenient not being able to use it on such a popular crypto exchange platform.
