Pakistan Set to Regulate Crypto Markets by Mid-August — Binance to Lead With $500M Investments
In a major development, the Government of Pakistan is expected to introduce formal cryptocurrency regulations by early to mid-August. This move marks a significant step toward integrating digital assets into the country’s financial system.
Multiple sources indicate that top global crypto exchanges — including Binance — are preparing to obtain official licenses to operate legally within Pakistan. Binance is reportedly ready to invest over $500 million, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the region and signaling confidence in Pakistan’s digital finance potential.
Additionally, several commercial banks in Pakistan are preparing to roll out crypto-related services, such as fiat on-ramps, custodial support, and integration with regulated exchanges. This could pave the way for broader adoption and offer safe access to millions of potential users.
Analysts compare this upcoming framework to the U.S. White House Digital Asset Strategy, noting that Pakistan’s approach may even be more agile and investor-friendly in certain aspects.
If implemented as expected, this regulatory shift could place Pakistan among the leading nations in South Asia embracing crypto innovation.
