Pakistan is stepping into a new era of digital finance with a major announcement. Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, has officially joined the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) as a Strategic Advisor. His expertise will help shape Pakistan’s crypto future, guiding the country in creating strong regulations, improving digital infrastructure, and increasing blockchain adoption.

Meanwhile, this partnership shows Pakistan’s strong interest in Web3 and its goal to grow in crypto.

Pakistan Welcomes CZ for Crypto Expansion

The announcement came during CZ’s recent visit to Pakistan, where he met with top government officials. These included Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), and the Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan.

CZ also had private meetings with the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, showing the government’s strong interest in crypto and blockchain technology.

During the meeting, Finance Minister Aurangzeb stated that Pakistan is ready to adopt digital finance and blockchain, and CZ’s guidance will help the country grow in the Web3 space.

CZ’s Role in Pakistan’s Crypto Future

CZ believes that Pakistan has great potential in the crypto space. With over 60% of its population under the age of 30, the country has a young, tech-savvy generation ready to adopt new financial technologies.

As a Strategic Advisor, CZ will focus on:

• Helping the government develop clear and compliant crypto policies.
• Assisting in building a strong digital finance network.
• Promoting blockchain knowledge to increase adoption and innovation.

Strengthening Crypto’s Global Reach

This appointment comes just after CZ signed an agreement with the Kyrgyz Republic to boost blockchain adoption in the region. Both Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan are taking steps to integrate crypto into their economies, making them attractive destinations for blockchain investment.

As CZ continues to collaborate with governments worldwide, his role in shaping regulatory frameworks and enabling secure digital finance ecosystems remains crucial.

In a groundbreaking move poised to reshape the global crypto landscape, Changpeng Zhao (CZ)—visionary founder of Binance and one of the most influential figures in Web3 — has officially been appointed as a Strategic Advisor to the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC).

The announcement was made today during CZ’s meeting with the Pakistan Crypto Council. The meeting was chaired by the Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, and brought together key government stakeholders, including the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), the Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, and the Federal Secretaries for Law and IT.

During his visit, CZ also held separate meetings with the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan.

This is a landmark moment for Pakistan,” said Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, Finance Minister of Pakistan and Chairman PCC. “We are sending a clear message to the world: Pakistan is open for innovation. With CZ onboard, we are accelerating our vision to make Pakistan a regional powerhouse for Web3, digital finance, and blockchain-driven growth.”

“Pakistan is opening its doors to the future of finance,” said Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council. “And who better to guide us on this journey than CZ — a pioneer who built the world’s largest crypto exchange and changed the way billions think about financial freedom.”

As an official Strategic Advisor to the Council, CZ will provide guidance on regulation, infrastructure, education, and adoption. He will work closely with the Government of Pakistan and the private sector to create a compliant, inclusive, and globally competitive crypto ecosystem.

Pakistan is a country of 240 million people, over 60% of whom are under the age of 30. The potential here is limitless,” CZ remarked during the announcement.

The Pakistan Crypto Council — established under the Finance Division — is spearheading this digital transformation. CZ’s appointment signals a bold new era, where Pakistan joins the ranks of Singapore, Dubai, and Switzerland as a progressive, Web3-ready nation.

In his role as Strategic Advisor, CZ will provide guidance on regulation, infrastructure, education, and adoption, working with both the Pakistani government and the private sector to develop a compliant crypto ecosystem.

“Pakistan is a country of 240 million people, over 60% of whom are under the age of 30. The potential here is limitless,” CZ said during the announcement.

The Pakistan Crypto Council, established under the Finance Division, is leading this digital transformation initiative.

The appointment comes after CZ signed last week a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Kyrgyz Republic’s National Investment Agency (NIA) to boost blockchain growth in Kyrgyzstan.

The partnership focuses on regulatory consulting, infrastructure development, and education initiatives, targeting Kyrgyzstan’s crypto and blockchain ecosystem development.

Kyrgyzstan has also launched the A7A5 stablecoin, pegged to the Russian ruble. Both Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan are looking to develop their financial ecosystem around crypto to attract industry interest in the regions.

Meanwhile, CZ continues to engage with multiple governments on crypto regulation. He has been focused on building secure frameworks and enabling digital finance ecosystems.
