The government has withdrawn its previous ban and enacted a new law, the Virtual Assets Act, 2025. This establishes a regulatory body to license and oversee crypto-related businesses.

However, the policy is not about full adoption:

  • ​The primary focus is on a new central bank digital currency, the Digital PKR.

  • ​Freely trading decentralized assets like Bitcoin is not permitted.

  • ​The use of crypto for payments or as an open investment is banned.

​This move is a form of "controlled legalization," where the government seeks to benefit from blockchain technology for remittances and financial innovation, while keeping firm control over the digital economy.
