Pakistan Minister Urges Bitcoin, Blockchain to Power New Financial System
Pakistan’s federal minister said Bitcoin and blockchain should form the backbone of a new financial system, signaling a policy push to transform informal grassroots crypto activity into a compliant, innovation-driven sector. The remarks on Dec. 11, 2025, stressed building around Bitcoin while introducing clear digital-asset rules to bring oversight, consumer protection and legal certainty to widespread crypto use.
If regulators follow through, the move could accelerate institutional interest, expand financial inclusion via digital rails, and attract fintech investment by reducing regulatory uncertainty. For BTC markets and local entrepreneurs, clearer rules would create a pathway from peer-to-peer trading to licensed services and custodial infrastructure. Observers will be watching for concrete licensing, tax and consumer-protection measures that balance innovation with risk management.
