Pakistan moves to recognise digital currency
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has proposed a significant framework to recognise digital assets, including cryptocurrency, as legal currency in Pakistan. If approved, the plan would allow the SBP to issue its digital currency, potentially paving the way for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) within the country. This shift would mark a major departure from the SBP’s previous cautionary stance on virtual currencies.
