The crypto scene in Pakistan is finally heating up. While it’s not fully legalized yet, 2025 has brought major progress — and things are moving fast. Let’s break it down 👇

📜 What’s the Legal Status Right Now?

As of 2025:

🔸 Crypto is still not legal tender in Pakistan

🔸 Banks are still banned from handling crypto transactions (since 2018)

🔸 BUT — the government is actively working on regulations, not bans.

🏛️ Big 2025 Developments

🚀 Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) launched

📊 Pakistan Digital Asset Authority (PDAA) created to regulate digital assets

📕 State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has proposed legal amendments to recognize digital assets

Translation? Pakistan is getting serious about crypto — not just for trading, but also for innovation and global competitiveness.

🔌 Why Now?

💡 Pakistan is allocating 2,000+ MW of electricity to Bitcoin mining & AI data centers

💼 There's even a partnership with Trump family–backed crypto ventures to build out infrastructure

🌍 Pakistan wants to compete with Dubai & Singapore in Web3 innovation

🤔 So... Can You Trade Crypto in Pakistan?

✔️ Yes — P2P trading is still possible, especially via global platforms like Binance

⚠️ No formal legal protection yet — so trade carefully

🔒 Use trusted platforms and stick to verified P2P sellers

🧠 Final Take

Crypto in Pakistan is not illegal, but still unregulated — for now.

With serious moves in 2025, the country is likely to shift from grey zones to clear regulations soon.
