Impact of Crypto in Pakistan
1. Change in Legal Status: Pakistan has taken various positions on cryptocurrency in recent years. In 2022, the State Bank of Pakistan recommended a complete ban on crypto, but in 2025, the government decided to grant legal status to crypto to tackle the economic crisis. For this purpose, the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) has been established, which is working on the integration of blockchain technology and digital assets.
2. Public Adoption: Approximately 15 to 20 million individuals in Pakistan have invested in crypto, making it one of the large crypto markets in the world. During political and economic instability, the public has adopted crypto as a safe investment.
