Pakistan appears to be exploring a legal framework for crypto to potentially attract foreign investment.

Pakistan seems to be exploring the possibility of establishing a legal framework for cryptocurrency trading, aiming to attract international investment while potentially providing more clarity for digital asset activities in the country’s growing crypto market.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Bilal bin Saqib, chief executive巴基斯坦加密委員會的官員說，巴基斯坦“坐在場上”，希望吸引國際投資，強調該國的“低成本高增長市場”和一個“ web3的web3本地勞動力準備建立。準備好建造Web3本機勞動力。”

加密貨幣交易已經在巴基斯坦很受歡迎，因為它在全球範圍內在加密貨幣中排名第九，根據Blockchain Analytics Chainalysis的數據，根據SAQIB的估計，分析分析公司的數據中的數據是1500萬至2000萬用戶。鏈分析的數據還表明，該國的大部分交易量“都是通過非正式的對等市場進行的。

近年來，政府對加密貨幣的立場尚不清楚，但官員們現在似乎正在考慮採用更具結構化的方法。薩奇布（Saqib）建議，包括美國政策的轉變在內的全球發展可能會影響巴基斯坦對該行業的討論，並說：“特朗普將加密貨幣視為國家優先事項，包括巴基斯坦在內的每個國家都必須follow suit.”

In November 2024, the State Bank of Pakistan proposed a legal framework to recognize digital assets, including cryptocurrency, as official forms of currency. The proposal also outlines a system for penalizing unauthorized digital currency issuers. By integrating digital currency management into the SBP’s responsibilities, the proposal would enable the bank to oversee currency in both physical and digital forms.
