Pakistan is taking a decisive step toward legitimizing its crypto economy.
The launch of the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA) aims to bring structure, security, and strategic direction to a $25 billion digital asset market.

Backed by the Finance Ministry, the PDAA will oversee exchanges, wallets, tokenized assets, and even DeFi.
The vision? To make Pakistan a competitive player alongside tech-forward hubs like Singapore and the UAE.

This isn’t just about controlling crypto—it’s about unlocking its full potential.
The authority plans to support Bitcoin mining using surplus energy, tokenize national assets, and create space for Web3 startups.

It also paves the way for legal clarity for both local entrepreneurs and foreign investors.
The PDAA’s FATF-compliant framework ensures global trust while signaling Pakistan’s seriousness about transparency.

As Bilal Bin Saqib of the Pakistan Crypto Council put it, this marks the beginning of a smarter, more inclusive financial era.
Pakistan isn’t just adopting digital assets—it’s preparing to lead with them.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Sunday assured the business community of fostering transparency in dollar exchange and interbank rates.

“The money exchanges would be brought under the purview of taxation, fostering transparency in dollar exchange and interbank rates,” the COAS said while talking to the business community at a meeting held at the Lahore Corps headquarters.

The army chief highlighted the pivotal role of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), emphasising its potential to attract substantial investments of up to 100 billion dollars from countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and others. To bolster economic decision-making, he revealed the formation of task forces focused on economic matters and different sectors.
