In recent months, more and more people in Pakistan have started turning to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, USDT, and BNB — not for trading, but to protect their savings from rising inflation and currency devaluation.
According to local Telegram groups and Binance P2P activity, the demand for USDT has seen a major increase, especially in urban areas. Many users are converting their PKR into stablecoins to avoid losing value in traditional savings.
Why this shift?
Pakistani Rupee has lost over 30% of its value in 2 years.
Banks offer low profit and strict withdrawal limits.
Crypto offers easy access, fast transfers, and inflation protection.
A user from Lahore shared:
"I used to keep money in a savings account, now I save in USDT. At least the value doesn’t drop overnight."
Platforms like Binance are becoming popular among young professionals and freelancers, especially those earning in dollars.
The Road Ahead:
Crypto adoption is rising in Pakistan — slowly but steadily. But education is key. Beginners must learn about wallets, security, and avoid scams. With the right knowledge, crypto could be the future of financial freedom in South Asia.
