Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of Pakistan's Crypto Council, suggested utilizing excess energy for Bitcoin mining at the council's inaugural meeting. The council aims to create regulatory frameworks to attract foreign investment and position Pakistan as a crypto hub. The meeting, attended by lawmakers and key officials, marks a significant shift from Pakistan's previous anti-crypto stance. Former finance minister Aisha Ghaus Pasha had cited anti-money laundering concerns as the reason for opposing crypto. In a surprising move, Pakistan legalized cryptocurrencies on the same day as the US elections. Following Donald Trump's re-election, pro-crypto policies were swiftly implemented, including the establishment of a Digital Assets Working Group. Trump also created a Bitcoin strategic reserve and digital asset stockpile. Stay informed on global crypto regulations by subscribing to the Law Decoded newsletter for valuable insights and updates.
