Binance & HTX Receive Approval to Begin Registration in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) has issued No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to global crypto platforms Binance and HTX, allowing both companies to begin formal registration and engagement activities in the country.
The approvals were granted following a review of governance frameworks, compliance systems, and risk-management controls conducted alongside public-sector stakeholders.
With Pakistan ranked third worldwide in crypto adoption and home to an estimated 30-40 million users, industry assessments suggest digital asset trading linked to Pakistan exceeds USD 300 billion annually. Regulators say the priority is to bring this activity into a transparent, compliant, and internationally aligned framework.
