The hashtag Pakistan demands crypto was trending on Twitter with 19 thousand tweets and people were demanding Imran Khan to legalise cryptocurrency as it’s the future of traditional currencies and it aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision of digital Pakistan. A user of the micro-blogging website wrote; “9.1 Million dollars are invested by Pakistanis into crypto and our funds are not secure as there is no regulated exchange. Imran Khan, please ask SEC to allow Waqar Zaka to launch this exchange.”
Cryptocurrency is the talk-of-the-town around the globe, an increasing number of people are using cryptocurrency for investment, and transactional purposes. Pakistan is recently seen to be trending in the area of cryptocurrency as the country lands on the third spot in the Top 20 list of the 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index. Although Binance is one of the most downloaded apps in Pakistan, it is neither regulated nor approved by the country’s regulators. Currently, no licenses or approvals for cryptocurrencies have been granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
