Bilal Bin Saqib, Pakistan’s Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain, has resigned as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister due to rules preventing him from holding both roles. His resignation sparked rumors about the crypto ministry shutting down, but officials confirmed all projects are continuing and that Saqib will still represent Pakistan at Binance Blockchain Week. Appointed in May 2025, Saqib has played a key role in shaping Pakistan’s blockchain policy and digital finance strategy.
