A hacking attack targeting the Binance cryptocurrency exchange has created new challenges for Morocco’s planned launch of a digital dirham, according to experts in the field. The report links the Binance hacking operation to the debate over introducing the digital currency in Morocco. In 2025, Bank Al-Maghrib governor Abdellatif Jouahri warned at the opening of the Association of African Central Banks’ continental symposium in Rabat about growing cyber risks facing the financial system. He spoke about those risks in the context of accelerating digital transformation and its spread, according to the source text.
