Crypto P2P in Pakistan - August 2025 Update
Pakistan is now regulating crypto seriously.
The government launched a new authority (PVARA) to license and monitor crypto platforms. P2P trading is active on platforms like MEXC and EasySwap, supporting PKR and local payment apps (JazzCash, Easypaisa).
⚠️ RISKS remain: Some banks freeze accounts over P2P transfers, and there's been a rise in scams and even kidnapping cases.
✅ What's next: The central bank is testing a digital currency (CBDC), and crypto is being pushed into the mainstream (banking, gold, forex).
Bottom Line: Pakistan is moving toward safer, regulated crypto - but users still need to be cautious with P2P.
