JUST IN: PAKISTAN'S CENTRAL BANK JUST OFFICIALLY ENDED AN 8-YEAR BAN ON #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO 🇵🇰

BTC & CRYPTO FIRMS CAN NOW LEGALLY SECURE BANK ACCOUNTS

THE WAR ON BTC IS OVER

The State Bank of Pakistan formally ended its eight-year prohibition on cryptocurrency banking services on April 14, 2026 — authorizing regulated banks to open accounts for Virtual Asset Service Providers licensed by the newly established Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority. (Coindoo)

Pakistan already has roughly 40 million people — about 17% of the population — involved in crypto trading, making it the 3rd-largest crypto market by retail activity, ahead of Germany and Japan. (Bitbo)

🔥 THIS IS MASSIVE.

⚠️ Note: The ban dates back to 2018 — making it an 8-year ban, not 7. Some outlets reported "7 years" by counting from 2018 to 2025, but the formal repeal happened in April 2026 — accurately making it an 8-year restriction.
