In a landmark move, Pakistan has appointed Bilal bin Saqib as Special Assistant for Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Affairs. This signals a strong national shift toward digital innovation and financial modernization. With over 25 million crypto users and growing, Pakistan is no longer just exploring the crypto frontierโitโs building on it.
The governmentโs push includes plans to dedicate 2,000 megawatts of power for crypto mining and AI infrastructure. This leap comes at a time when neighboring India continues to maintain a strict tax regime and regulatory hesitance. The contrast is starkโPakistan is opening its doors to blockchain startups and foreign investors, while Indiaโs talent and capital often look for opportunities abroad.
This development may be a turning point for South Asia. If successful, Pakistan could become the regionโs crypto innovation hub, attracting talent, jobs, and capital. The question remainsโwill others follow, or be left behind?
