Pakistan Legalizes Cryptocurrencies: What To Know

According to recent reports, Pakistan is introducing a solid legal framework for cryptocurrencies, in an attempt to establish itself as a global leader in the blockchain space. With a vision of attracting international investors, Pakistan intends to expand its crypto trading offerings. Particularly, the country’s crypto initiative focuses on three key areas including Bitcoin mining, tokenization, and trading.

Reflecting on the development, Pakistan Crypto Council CEO Bilal Bin Saqib shared an X post. Saqib unveiled Pakistan’s efforts to foster crypto growth and adoption, positioning itself as a crypto leader. The Crypto Council CEO stated,

We want Pakistan as the leader in blockchain-powered finance, and we want to attract international investment. Sixty percent of the population is under 30 [years old], we have a Web3-native workforce ready to build.

Pakistan Joins Crypto Big Leagues

Notably, blockchain analytics platform Chainalysis identified Pakistan as the ninth largest country in terms of crypto adoption. As pointed out by Saqib, Pakistan continues to be a developing crypto hub with nearly 20 million community members. During the last market rally, Pakistan reportedly witnessed $30 billion in remittances and $20 billion in crypto transactions. Experts believe that the country could thrive even more with clear crypto regulations, considering its potential for growth without them.

Further, the Crypto Council CEO stated that the country’s tech-savvy citizens and budding fintech professionals contribute to Pakistan’s vision. This makes Pakistan well-positioned to compete with crypto leaders like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai.

This comes amid anticipations of US President Donald Trump addressing Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York City on March 20. His speech is expected to focus on BTC adoption among institutions, regulatory developments, and the future of the crypto industry.

Global Push for Crypto Growth and Adoption

Significantly, global powers, including the United States, are establishing a crypto-friendly environment, recognizing the potential of the industry. For instance, the US is adopting a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under President Donald Trump. In addition, President Trump is envisioning a regulatory overhaul that guarantees both crypto expansion and customer protection.

Moreover, countries like Russia, Brazil, and Poland are also discussing to establish a Bitcoin reserve. Recently, North Korea’s increasing Bitcoin accumulation sparked speculations of the country’s possible BTC reserve plans.

Thus, Pakistan’s crypto legalization has sparked widespread interest as the country aims to lift its years-long crypto restrictions. The development highlights the nation’s shifting stance on digital assets and its desire to tap into the growing crypto market.
