DEVELOPING STORY: Pakistan’s Crypto Market on Path to Regulation
New York, NY
🏛️ Front-Page News: Formalizing Pakistan’s Digital Asset Landscape
Authorities in Pakistan are currently undertaking a comprehensive and systematic effort to transition the country's vast, largely unregulated cryptocurrency market into a fully compliant and investment-ready digital asset ecosystem.
This strategic initiative aims to integrate the decentralized finance ($DeFi$) activities with the formal economy while mitigating financial risks.
This move follows years of ambiguous or restrictive regulatory guidance, leading to a significant portion of crypto trading occurring on informal or international platforms, hindering domestic growth and oversight. $POL
Educational Focus on Regulatory Transition:
Investor Protection: The primary goal of formalization is to establish robust legal frameworks that protect domestic and international investors from fraud, market manipulation, and operational failures within the VASP sector. $TRX
Capital Mobilization: By creating a compliant environment, the government seeks to encourage foreign direct investment (FDI) and institutional participation into the local digital asset space, facilitating greater capital mobilization. $RVN
Technological Readiness: The process involves the adoption of global best practices, specifically the Financial Action Task Force ($FATF$) standards, mandating strict Anti-Money Laundering ($AML$) and Know Your Customer ($KYC$) protocols for all regulated entities.
This regulatory overhaul is crucial to support the nation's broader digital transformation goals, including the previously announced asset tokenization project with Binance. Success hinges on a balanced approach that fosters innovation while ensuring financial stability and integrity.

🕵️♂️ THE END OF ANONYMITY? HOW NEW LAWS ARE CHANGING THE RULES OF THE CRYPTO GAME IN 2025
Hello, Square! It’s December 22, 2025. While we are trading ETFs and RWA tokens, something more significant is happening under the noise: regulators worldwide are tightening the screws. And we are not talking about basic KYC on exchanges anymore — that's old news. We are talking about the full transparency of your self-custody wallets.
🌐 The Era of Global Oversight
In 2025, new directives from the G20 and FATF came into force, obligating financial institutions globally to share data on any transaction exceeding a modest limit. And this applies not only to CEXs (centralized exchanges) but also to cross-chain bridges.
⚠️ The Privacy Problem
Projects focusing on anonymity (ZCash, Monero, privacy mixers) are now under unprecedented pressure. In some jurisdictions, their use has effectively become illegal. This is creating a huge divide within the community:
Privacy Advocates talk about the basic right to financial confidentiality and the fight against total control.Regulators insist on combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
💸 What Does This Mean for the Average User?
Transparency is Inevitable: Your public wallet address is likely already linked to your real identity via the CEX you first used to enter the market.Risks for DeFi: Using certain privacy protocols could, in the future, lead to your assets being frozen on regulated exchanges.HODLing Becomes Harder: Holding large sums anonymously is becoming technically more difficult and legally riskier.
The Bottom Line: We are at a crossroads. Crypto was conceived as a decentralized and anonymous alternative to fiat, but 2025 has shown that governments are not willing to give up control so easily. Privacy is becoming a premium, high-risk asset.
👇 Do you think crypto should be completely anonymous, or is regulation a necessary evil for mass adoption? Share your opinion!

FATF Alarm: Cryptocurrency is Fueling North Korea and Iran's Weapons Programs
According to the latest report from the International Anti-Money Laundering Force (#FATF ) published in June 2025, countries under sanctions like North Korea and Iran are exploiting cryptocurrency to evade sanctions and fund illegal weapons programs.
The report specifies that North Korea alone has stolen $1.4 billion from the ByBit exchange in February, subsequently laundering the money through mixing services, non-custodial wallets, and poorly regulated exchanges. The Lazarus hacking group, notorious for cyberattacks backed by Pyongyang, continues to play a crucial role.
According to Jeremiah O'Connor (Webacy), cryptocurrency has become an ideal tool because it crosses borders, operates 24/7, requires no intermediaries, and easily exploits legal loopholes.
Chainalysis's research also found that this criminal network is linking multiple geopolitical hotspots: from North Korea's involvement in the Ukraine war, Russia-Iran cooperation in building drone factories, to Chinese fentanyl trafficking groups connecting with Mexican cartels.
⚠️ Warning: Cryptocurrency could become a global security loophole if lacking strict oversight. Investors and exchanges need to strengthen risk management to avoid inadvertently facilitating illegal capital flows! #northkorea

The Government Is Watching Your Crypto Transfers Now
The regulatory hammer just dropped in Pakistan, signaling a major shift toward institutional control over digital assets. New regulations mandate detailed verification for any $BTC or $SOL transfer exceeding 1 million rupees. This isn't just about taxes; it's about making the FATF Travel Rule mandatory.
For the first time, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) are required to collect, verify, and store full identity details for both the sender and the recipient. Authorities now have a direct pathway to scrutinize large transactions, effectively eliminating the last vestiges of transfer anonymity for major players. While this aligns the nation with global anti-money laundering standards, it fundamentally changes the risk landscape for users prioritizing privacy and forces $XRP and other cross-border assets into a fully transparent framework. This sets a powerful precedent for other emerging markets seeking greater oversight.

⚡️ Turkey goes all-in against "grey" crypto schemes!
According to Bloomberg, the authorities are preparing to expand the powers of the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (Masak). Plans include:
• freezing of bank and crypto accounts,
• limits on transactions,
• blacklists of crypto addresses.
The focus is on "rented accounts," which are often used for gambling and fraud. All this is under the guise of FATF standards and as part of the 11th package of judicial reforms.
👉 What do you think, is this a real fight against money laundering or yet another attempt to tighten regulations on crypto?

🚨 $51B in Stolen Crypto? FATF Just Slammed the Emergency Button on the Entire Industry 😱🔒
Crypto just got a global “watch your back” warning — and it’s not from some influencer…
It’s from FATF — the watchdog group that governments actually fear.
Only 40 out of 138 countries are following the rules.
The result? A jaw-dropping $51 BILLION in dirty crypto flows in 2024.
Let that sink in.
That’s not a typo. That’s your money swimming in untracked waters. 🌊💸
💣 What’s FATF & Why They Just Exploded on Crypto
FATF = the global regulator of financial crime.
Think of them as the “Interpol of Money Laundering.”
And they’re calling out the crypto world HARD:
$1.5B stolen from Bybit (allegedly North Korea 👀)
Massive DEX loopholes
Country after country ignoring anti-crime rules
Now they’re saying: enough is enough. And when FATF speaks, banks and governments listen fast.
😨 Why This Hits YOU — Not Just Big Players
Think you’re safe because you only hold $200 in PEPE?
Think again.
Here’s what happens if your exchange or wallet isn’t FATF-compliant:
🔒 Account locked
🔒 Withdrawals frozen
🔒 Wallet flagged
🔒 Airdrops denied
🔒 Access blocked in your country
And the worst part?
You won’t even get a warning — you’ll just log in and see zero access. 💀
🧠 Degen Survival Kit: What You Should Do NOW
✅ Stick with FATF-compliant exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, etc.)
✅ Don’t use random DEXs with no KYC, especially on VPNs
✅ Don’t ignore wallet blacklists — they’re already in motion
✅ Don’t fall for “regulation is a lie” Twitter bros — they’ll get rugged first
🔍 Real Talk: This Isn’t Just a Rulebook — It’s a Warning Shot
The Bybit hack wasn’t small.
It was the biggest crypto heist in history.
And FATF just told the world: if you don’t fix it, we’ll blacklist you.
This is your early signal — not to panic, but to prepare.
🎯 Final Word
Crypto isn’t dying.
But the wild west days are.
The next bull run will be KYC-first, compliance-first, and FATF-approved.
So ask yourself:
> 💬 “Is your exchange ready… or are your bags about to be frozen solid?”
👇 Tag a friend still using shady DEXs in 2025 — and save their wallet.

– Self-custody wallets must comply if interacting with CEXs
– Penalties include gray-listing jurisdictions
🧩 Impact:
– Privacy protocols may clash with compliance
– Countries vary: 🇸🇬/🇦🇪 more flexible than 🇺🇸/🇪🇺

🚨 Big Crypto Wake-Up Call from FATF 🚨
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) just dropped some serious heat on the crypto space. According to their latest report, only 40 out of 138 countries are actually doing a decent job regulating crypto properly. 😬
And get this — over $51 billion in crypto was linked to illicit activity in 2024 alone. That’s billion with a B. Most of it flowed through stablecoins, which are supposed to be the “safe” option. Instead, they’re apparently the go-to for shady stuff like terrorism financing, drug trafficking, and even North Korea doing its hacker thing.
Oh, and remember that massive $1.5B ByBit hack earlier this year? Yeah… FATF strongly hints North Korea was behind that one too. 😳
Moral of the story: regulators aren’t playing anymore. Expect stricter crypto rules, especially around stablecoins and cross-border transfers. Might be good for the long run, but the heat is definitely on.
Stay sharp out there. 🔍💸

Criminals Have Won: The Global Anti-Money Laundering System Does Not Work
Trillions of dollars in fines, millions of suspicious reports, and over 30 years of global oversight — yet criminals still easily launder their profits. New studies, including report #FATF and research from the University of Chicago, show that the anti-money laundering system (#AML ) creates only an illusion of effectiveness, having turned into an expensive bureaucratic machine.

A massive amount of money may be circulating without oversight as Pakistan emerges as the world’s third-largest crypto adopter, according to Chainalysis’s 2025 Global Adoption Index. Most of this activity is driven by small individual investors. An earlier FPCCI report estimated that Pakistanis collectively hold nearly $20 billion in digital assets.
Research shows that beyond Binance, a substantial portion of crypto trading in Pakistan occurs through local peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms, which operate without KYC verification. These loopholes allow large sums to move across borders undetected.
The chairman of the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan has warned that people are buying dollars from exchange companies and using them to purchase crypto, causing almost $600 million to “vanish” from the formal financial system. If accurate, this could place Pakistan at risk of scrutiny from the FATF, as crypto can facilitate money laundering and terror financing.
While Pakistan has begun creating a regulatory framework, progress remains slow. The Pakistan Crypto Council, formed this year, has yet to publish comprehensive guidelines. Similarly, the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority has only started inviting expressions of interest from global exchanges for licensing.
Given the widespread use of unregulated platforms and the scale of crypto transactions, the risk of illicit financial flows is significant. Authorities must act swiftly to strengthen regulations before global watchdogs raise concerns again.

The SEC is moving to regulate the cryptocurrency market in a way that we do not know!
Anyone following the crypto market is sure to see the significant shift in the direction of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) towards regulating the digital currency market, as the acting chairman, Mark Uyeda, has ceased to pursue any enforcement actions against cryptocurrency companies unless they are involved in clear fraud.
According to attorney Josh Hesse, the agency is expected to focus under the new U.S. administration on protecting retail investors and reducing fraud, rather than pursuing brokers or punishing companies for technical regulatory shortcomings.
The report mentioned that several prominent cases, such as those against Coinbase, Kraken, and Ripple, are under review and may be dropped or settled.
It is also expected that the controversial “Howey Test” will be replaced with a clearer classification system for cryptocurrencies, which could enhance innovation and provide a more transparent and stable regulatory environment.
On a global level, there are also significant updates in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing guidelines from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), along with proposed changes in capital requirements from the Dubai Financial Services Authority, which may have varying impacts on brokers and investment firms.

As of April 2025, among the 138 jurisdictions evaluated by the authoritative standard-setting body FATF in the global anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing fields:
Only 1 jurisdiction is fully compliant: Bahamas
29% are basically compliant, a slight increase from 25% in 2024, including: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore
Singapore's loud announcement that starting June 30, it will fully implement DTSP compliance requirements for the cryptocurrency industry is for FATF's major evaluation.
The bad news is: I didn't expect such harsh policies to drive people away, Singapore still didn't score high.
The good news is: except for Panama, no one scored high.
If I'm wrong, then let everyone be a little wrong too [smug][smug][smug]
