🇵🇰 PAKISTAN IS GOING TO BAN ALL CRYPTO EXCHANGES AND P2P TRADERS FROM 5 SEPTEMBER.
21 August 2026, @PakistanVARA published the new Virtual Asset Services Regulations and opened applications.
date is not a ban on every exchange. It hits the ones that do not get a NOC (No Objection Certificate, the first government clearance paper)
Who must come under the government 📋 🔶 Crypto exchanges serving Pakistan 🔷 Crypto apps working in Pakistan must get a license from the Pakistani government 🔸 P2P traders who run this as a business, already moving billions of dollars, must register with the government too
Existing businesses already running on or before 5 March 2026 must file that NOC by 5 September 2026 or stop. New firms can still apply later. ⏰
If they do not file 🛑 🟥 The app or website can be blocked 🟧 The seller can face investigations
@binance and @HTX_Global already hold that first NOC paper. An unlicensed local seller does not. 🏦✅
