Pakistan is officially stepping into the Web3 world—and it’s not looking back.
Pakistan Vows to Keep “Building in Crypto,” Says National Crypto Council Head
In a bold new video statement, Finance Minister and Crypto Council head Bilal Bin Saqib declared, “Pakistan will keep building in crypto.” The phrase, made popular in the blockchain world by Binance’s CZ, signals The nation’s full-speed commitment to the crypto space.
Bilal says the country is working on turning excess electricity—a long-time national liability—into “digital gold” through sustainable Bitcoin mining. He also revealed plans to build a crypto-friendly framework that doesn’t kill innovation but encourages it.
He called the launch of the National Crypto Council a “sign of change,” showing that the government is serious about Web3. The council, officially launched on March 14, is tasked with regulating digital assets and encouraging crypto entrepreneurship across the country.
Bilal outlined future goals: blockchain hubs at universities, open calls to the global Pakistani developer community, and policies designed around youth potential and economic realities.
And the nation isn’t doing it alone—Bin Saqib recently joined Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial as a strategic advisor. Also on board? Binance’s CZ, now advising the council directly.
Pakistan’s message is clear: it’s done waiting—and it’s ready to build.
