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 highlights the country’s growing interest in digital assets, driven by several key factors: a large unbanked population, high remittance volumes, a young and tech-savvy demographic, as well as ongoing challenges with inflation and currency devaluation.

CZ’s involvement is expected to serve multiple strategic goals. It lends credibility to Pakistan’s push for crypto regulation, offers access to global crypto expertise, and helps build investor confidence—especially from international players and venture capitalists eyeing Pakistan’s emerging crypto market.
