What changed after Pakistan's eight-year crypto ban? The country just moved from prohibition to a regulated path forward. Officials announced that licensing regulations under the Virtual Assets Act are now in force, and the prime minister's special assistant on blockchain, Bilal Bin Saqib, is inviting foreign companies to build in Pakistan under 'clear, public and enforceable' rules. The act, approved by the Senate and signed by President Asif Ali Zardari, introduces the country's first comprehensive framework for virtual asset providers and consumer protections. This follows earlier moves like plans for a strategic Bitcoin reserve and allocating 2,000 MW of surplus electricity to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. $BTC #Bitcoin #Crypto #Pakistan #Regulation
