State Minister and Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority Bilal Bin Saqib said Pakistan is ready to embrace future technologies and the digital economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the Bitcoin Asia Conference in Hong Kong, he said Pakistan has made significant progress in understanding emerging financial and technological developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bilal said Pakistan established a regulatory framework for virtual assets in less than six months, spending around $200,000 on its development and implementation. He added that nearly 92% of the approved budget remained unused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He clarified that Pakistan\u2019s strategy is not simply to purchase large amounts of Bitcoin for a strategic reserve, but to prepare the country for the evolving global financial system and future digital economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
