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 signals a growing interest in digital assets in the country. Several key factors are driving Pakistan’s shift toward crypto, including a large unbanked population, significant remittance inflows, a predominantly young population, and economic challenges like inflation and currency devaluation.

CZ’s involvement brings multiple advantages: it adds credibility to Pakistan’s push for crypto regulation, offers access to global industry expertise, and may boost investor confidence—attracting both international players and venture capital to the country’s evolving crypto space. His guidance could help pave the way for clearer frameworks and sustainable adoption.
