Pakistan to Establish National Crypto Council for Regulatory Development

Pakistan plans to establish a national crypto council to create legislation for the cryptocurrency sector. This decision follows a meeting with digital asset advisors of former President Donald Trump.

  • The council will include government representatives, regulatory authorities, and industry experts.
  • It aims to oversee policy development and collaborate internationally on standardized frameworks.
  • Previously, the finance ministry opposed crypto regulation, but Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has expressed willingness to reevaluate this stance.
  • Aurangzeb underscored the need for a well-regulated digital asset framework during discussions with the foreign delegation.

Countries are observing U.S. efforts to implement crypto-friendly policies since Trump's election.
