Pakistan has positioned itself among the global frontrunners in cryptocurrency adoption, recording an estimated $300 billion in annual crypto transactions and boasting 25 million active users, according to a recent statement from the Finance Ministry.
The announcement came following a strategic partnership between the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) and decentralized finance (DeFi) platform World Liberty Financial (WLF), aimed at driving innovation and regulation in the country’s rapidly expanding digital finance ecosystem.
Highlighting Pakistan’s digital potential, the ministry emphasized that over 64% of the country’s population is under the age of 30 — making it one of the world’s most promising markets for digital finance and blockchain innovation.
