Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) Bilal Bin Saqib has said that Pakistan ranks among the top three countries globally in crypto adoption, highlighting a major shift toward a regulated and transparent digital asset framework. Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, he stated that for the first time, Pakistan has opened an internationally compliant pathway for global crypto exchanges, with the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to platforms like Binance and HTX marking a practical step forward. He emphasized that millions of Pakistanis are already using digital assets and that a legal framework is essential to fully harness this potential, adding that the new system will support multiple industries as global financial markets increasingly move toward digital platforms.
