Crypto now: global adoption, stablecoins, and rising corporate strategy

• China plans to launch yuan-backed stablecoins to boost its international use, with accelerated implementation in Hong Kong and Shanghai. This represents a significant shift in its stance towards digital currencies. 

• Pakistan takes a bold step: it created a Crypto Council led by Bilal Bin Saqib, with Changpeng Zhao (founder of Binance) as strategic advisor. Additionally, it announced a strategic reserve of sovereign Bitcoin and allocated 2,000 MW of surplus energy for mining and data centers.
