With a youthful population eager to embrace new technologies, the country is set to explore the potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency more deeply, and the publication demonstrates positive momentum in the developments.
Appointment of Changpeng Zhao
In April 2025, Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, was appointed as a strategic adviser to the Pakistan Crypto Council. His role will focus on key areas such as:
- regulation
