Pakistan names crypto as foundation for new national financial rail
Pakistan’s Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain, Bilal Bin Saqib, stated that Pakistan considers Bitcoin and digital assets to be crucial aspects that will play a significant role in the country’s new financial system, benefiting its 240 million population. This perspective highlights the potential for Pakistani officials to consider regulating the crypto market.
This outlook was noted at the Bitcoin MENA Conference a few days after Saqib shared a statement dated Tuesday this week, declaring that the country can no longer rely on outdated economic models. Therefore, according to him, “a new engine”, which he referred to as digital assets, is needed to boost economic growth.
