CZ Joins Pakistan’s Crypto Council: A Boost for Crypto Adoption

Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, co-founder and former CEO of Binance, has been appointed as a strategic advisor to Pakistan’s newly established Crypto Council. This move reflects Pakistan’s growing interest in crypto, driven by several key factors: a large unbanked population, significant remittance inflows, a predominantly young population, and ongoing challenges like inflation and currency devaluation.

CZ’s involvement adds substantial value to Pakistan’s crypto push—lending credibility to its regulatory efforts, providing access to global expertise, and boosting confidence among international investors and venture capitalists in the country's emerging crypto landscape. His role could pave the way for clearer regulation and accelerated crypto adoption in Pakistan.
