CZ’s Vision for Pakistan: From "Legal Grey Zone" to Global Crypto Powerhouse by 2030
The "CZ effect" has officially reached Pakistan. In a recent interview with PCC CEO Bilal Bin Saqib, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) praised Pakistan’s leadership for their "clear vision" and speed in adopting crypto-friendly regulations.
Why CZ is Bullish on Pakistan:
The Demographic Edge: With over 240 million people and a median age of 23, Pakistan possesses a tech-savvy youth base that is already among the world's most active in P2P trading.
Tokenization of the PSX: CZ specifically endorsed the idea of tokenizing the Pakistan Stock Market, noting that it would allow the global population to invest directly in Pakistani equities, bringing in much-needed foreign liquidity.
Low Barrier to Entry: CZ noted that unlike AI or traditional banking—which require massive capital and compute—blockchain is "the best place for entrepreneurs" because it is purely virtual and merit-based.
The 2025 Milestones:
This year has been transformative for Pakistan. From the passage of the Virtual Assets Ordinance 2025 to the creation of a Shariah Advisory Committee for crypto, the country is building a unique model that balances innovation with Islamic finance principles.
The Verdict: If Pakistan maintains its current regulatory momentum, it could serve as a "global case study" for how emerging markets can use decentralized finance to strengthen sovereign economies.
