Pakistan is rolling out the red carpet—with rules—for global crypto firms. The new regulator, PVARA, is inviting applications from internationally licensed companies to operate legally in the country.
The potential prize is access to one of the world’s largest crypto user bases: 40 million Pakistanis.
The requirements are strict: significant capital, top-tier security, and a guarantee that all products are compliant with Sharia law.
For major exchanges and firms looking to expand their global footprint, this represents a pivotal opportunity to establish a first-mover advantage in a newly regulated market.
