Wait, did CZ just join Pakistan’s Crypto Council? Here’s what that could mean…
So, I just came across some pretty big news — Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, the co-founder and former CEO of Binance, has officially joined Pakistan’s newly launched Crypto Council as a strategic advisor. Yeah, you read that right. CZ. In Pakistan. In crypto policy.
Now, if you’re wondering why this matters — let me break it down from my own perspective.
Pakistan is lowkey becoming a hotbed for crypto growth, and there are solid reasons for it:
- A massive unbanked population
- Huge remittance flows from overseas
- A young, tech-savvy population hungry for financial alternatives
- And let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: rising inflation and a struggling currency
Bringing CZ onboard? It’s not just symbolic — it could mean a turning point. His presence lends legitimacy to the country’s crypto ambitions, opens the doors to global expertise, and could even boost investor confidence from VCs eyeing emerging markets like Pakistan.
This could also potentially open up local access to projects like $BNB, $SOL, or even DeFi innovations powered by $AVAX or $INJ — not to mention Pakistan-based tokens could finally get a global spotlight.
But here’s what I’m really curious about — will this finally push Pakistan to create a clear, supportive crypto regulation framework? Or is it just smoke and mirrors?
I’ve got my thoughts… but I want to hear yours too.
Could this be the moment Pakistan steps up as a serious crypto player — or is it just another headline? Drop your take in the comments.$BTC $BNB $SOL
