NEWS UPDATE: PVARA Chairman Reaffirms Bitcoin's Role as Foundational Financial Infrastructure 📰
NEW YORK CITY | 06:42 AM EST | December 13, 2025
The Chairman of the Provisional Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA) delivered a powerful statement today, unequivocally positioning Bitcoin and other digital assets not merely as speculative instruments but as a foundational component of the future financial infrastructure. $BTC
Speaking at a major financial technology summit, the Chairman emphasized that regulatory bodies must move beyond treating digital assets solely as a commodity for trading. Instead, he argued, the focus should shift to integrating their inherent technological capabilities—such as transparent ledger technology and decentralized value transfer—into the core mechanics of the global economy. $XRP
This perspective marks a significant departure from previous, more cautious regulatory stances. PVARA’s assertion frames digital assets as essential "digital railways" for cross-border payments, decentralized lending, and fractionalized asset ownership. The Chairman highlighted that recognizing Bitcoin as infrastructure is crucial for fostering sustainable innovation and maintaining competitiveness in the rapidly evolving fintech sector. $POL
The statement is expected to signal a more accommodating and progressive regulatory approach aimed at building supportive policy rails rather than restrictive barriers for established digital asset platforms.

Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority
PVARA (Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority) is Pakistan’s official federal regulator for digital assets and cryptocurrencies — established to create a legal, transparent, and internationally compliant framework for virtual asset markets and service providers.
📌 What Is PVARA?
PVARA (پاکستان ورچوئل اثاثہ جات ریگولیٹری اتھارٹی) is an independent regulatory authority created under the Virtual Assets Ordinance, 2025 to oversee virtual assets in Pakistan.
It operates under the Ministry of Finance and is responsible for regulating crypto and other digital asset activities.

PVARA’s main functions include:
✔ Licensing & supervision of Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) (such as exchanges, custodians, trading platforms) operating in or from Pakistan.

✔ Monitoring compliance with anti-money-laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) laws.
✔ Enforcing rules and taking action against non-compliant entities to protect consumers and market integrity.
✔ Publishing public registers of licensed providers and permitting complaints and oversight.
📜 Legal Foundation
The authority was established through the Virtual Assets Ordinance, 2025, signed into effect in July 2025 as an urgent legal measure, and later expected to be codified by Parliament.Prior to its formation, Pakistan had no comprehensive regulatory regime for digital assets, despite large user adoption.
🧠 Governance Structure
PVARA’s board includes senior officials from key financial and government institutions such as:
State Bank of PakistanSecurities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP)Federal Board of Revenue (FBR)Ministry of Finance, Law, IT, and others
It also includes independent directors with expertise in technology, finance, and law.
🌍 Why PVARA Matters
Brings legal clarity: Before PVARA, crypto and virtual assets in Pakistan operated in a largely unregulated space with legal uncertainty.Aligns with global standards: The framework seeks compliance with FATF, IMF, and World Bank guidelines to prevent illicit activity.Encourages innovation but protects users: Establishes a balance between innovation in blockchain/digital finance and strong consumer protection & AML/CFT safeguards.Attracts investment: By setting up clear rules, Pakistan aims to attract domestic and international firms and encourage formal digital-asset participation.
📈 Current Activities
PVARA is actively inviting global and local VASPs to submit Expressions of Interest (EoIs) and start the licensing process.It has also issued No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to major exchanges like Binance and HTX to begin preparatory steps toward full licensing.
In short: PVARA is Pakistan’s newly established federal regulator for virtual assets, designed to bring legal structure, safety, and global compliance to the country’s rapidly growing digital asset ecosystem — balancing innovation with financial integrity and consumer protection.
