CZ Joins Pakistan's Crypto Council: A Major Step Toward Crypto Adoption

Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, co-founder and former CEO of Binance, has officially joined Pakistan’s newly formed Crypto Council as a strategic advisor. This move highlights Pakistan’s growing interest in embracing crypto to tackle key economic challenges: a large unbanked population, high remittance inflows, a youth-heavy population, and persistent issues like rising inflation and currency devaluation.

CZ’s involvement serves several strategic purposes: it lends legitimacy to Pakistan’s crypto regulatory ambitions, brings global expertise to the table, boosts investor confidence, and may attract international venture capital to the country's emerging crypto ecosystem. His guidance could pave the way for clearer policies and faster adoption.
