The crypto scene in Pakistan is finally heating up. While itโs not fully legalized yet, 2025 has brought major progress โ and things are moving fast. Letโs break it down ๐
๐ Whatโs the Legal Status Right Now?
As of 2025:
๐ธ Crypto is still not legal tender in Pakistan
๐ธ Banks are still banned from handling crypto transactions (since 2018)
๐ธ BUT โ the government is actively working on regulations, not bans.
๐๏ธ Big 2025 Developments
๐ Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) launched
๐ Pakistan Digital Asset Authority (PDAA) created to regulate digital assets
๐ State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has proposed legal amendments to recognize digital assets
Translation? Pakistan is getting serious about crypto โ not just for trading, but also for innovation and global competitiveness.
๐ Why Now?
๐ก Pakistan is allocating 2,000+ MW of electricity to Bitcoin mining & AI data centers
๐ผ There's even a partnership with Trump familyโbacked crypto ventures to build out infrastructure
๐ Pakistan wants to compete with Dubai & Singapore in Web3 innovation
๐ค So... Can You Trade Crypto in Pakistan?
โ๏ธ Yes โ P2P trading is still possible, especially via global platforms like Binance
โ ๏ธ No formal legal protection yet โ so trade carefully
๐ Use trusted platforms and stick to verified P2P sellers
๐ง Final Take
Crypto in Pakistan is not illegal, but still unregulated โ for now.
With serious moves in 2025, the country is likely to shift from grey zones to clear regulations soon.
