Pakistan Enters the Crypto Era: Major Projects Announced by Pakistan Crypto Council

Pakistan is making serious moves in the Web3 space with the launch of the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) — a government-backed body focused on blockchain integration, crypto adoption, and innovation-friendly regulation.

Here’s what’s happening:

1. Bitcoin Mining with Surplus Electricity

Pakistan will allocate 2,000 megawatts of surplus electricity to power Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. The goal? Monetize excess energy, attract foreign investment, and create jobs.

2. Strategic Global Partnerships

PCC has joined forces with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a crypto venture linked to the Trump family, to fast-track blockchain use cases and tech development in Pakistan.

3. Crypto Regulation Framework

A clear crypto regulatory system is being developed to protect investors, promote transparency, and unlock the country’s growing freelancer economy.

4. Youth Empowerment in Web3 & AI

PCC aims to upskill Pakistani youth in blockchain and AI, turning the country into a hub for digital exports and innovation.

Which Coins Are Gaining Ground in Pakistan?

Bitcoin (BTC): Core to Pakistan’s mining initiatives and remittances.

Ethereum (ETH): Widely used for smart contracts and development.

Tether (USDT): Commonly used for trading due to stability.

CBDC: The State Bank is also exploring a Central Bank Digital Currency.

With 15+ million crypto users and strong government backing, Pakistan is positioning itself as a key player in the global crypto ecosystem.
