Pakistan, Binance Sign MOU to Tokenize $2B in State Assets

Published at 2025-12-12 16:15:11

Pakistan and Binance have agreed to a memorandum of understanding to tokenise $2 billion worth of state assets, according to Reuters. The move comes alongside Islamabad’s push to establish a formal crypto regulatory framework and explore blockchain mechanisms for distributing state-owned property, signaling an effort to attract capital and improve asset liquidity.

Officials have not disclosed a detailed timetable or which assets will be tokenized, leaving questions about legal structure, valuation and investor protections. If implemented with clear rules and oversight, the project could accelerate digital market development and provide new funding channels for the government; if not, it risks creating regulatory and market‑integrity challenges that the forthcoming framework will need to address.
