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.
