From Crypto Prohibition to Innovation Hub
In Pakistan, cryptocurrencies were not legal until not long ago. Although more people are choosing digital assets, authorities are still wary and push against their future in the country.
Things are changing much faster with this narrative.
Saqib pointed out that Pakistan is not limited by its previous situations. It is quickly becoming a national epicenter for digital progress — driven by the drive of young people, required by change and shaped by people with tech experience.
