Pakistan Launches New Crypto Regulator

On July 8, 2025, Pakistan formed the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) to license and oversee digital asset services nationwide . Although not project‑specific, the creation of PVARA implies domestic oversight could influence local interest in Bitcoin $BTC , Ethereum $ETH , $XRP , and other coins. As Pakistan’s market matures, regulated access may encourage retail and institutional participation in mainstream cryptos within national boundaries.
