In a groundbreaking move, the Government of Pakistan has officially constituted the Pakistan Crypto Council — a significant step toward embracing cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation. The council's formation, outlined in an official memo dated 14th March 2025, signals a progressive shift in the country's approach to digital finance.
Pakistan, like many emerging economies, has witnessed a surge in crypto adoption — fueled by remittances, financial inclusion needs, and youth-led innovation. However, the lack of clear regulations has hindered the sector’s growth.
The formation of the Pakistan Crypto Council marks a pivotal moment in the country’s financial landscape. By bringing together key stakeholders from finance, law, and technology, the government is laying the groundwork for a regulated, innovative, and consumer-friendly crypto economy.
If implemented effectively, this initiative could:
Position Pakistan as a regional blockchain hub
Attract global investments
Empower local entrepreneurs
Boost financial inclusion and economic growth.
