🇵🇰 Pakistan Reportedly Preparing Rupee-Backed Digital Coin — Big Move for Crypto Adoption?
Recent discussions in Pakistan’s regulatory circles suggest that the country may be moving toward legalizing virtual assets and introducing its own rupee-backed digital coin in the future.
This development comes as the Virtual Assets framework gains momentum and authorities explore a regulated path for crypto usage within Pakistan.
While no official confirmation has been issued yet, multiple reports indicate that:
Pakistan is reviewing policies for regulated digital assets,
A “Digital Rupee” or “Rupee-backed Stablecoin” is under consideration,
And the government is exploring ways to integrate blockchain under proper licensing and compliance.
If approved, this could become Pakistan’s first state-backed digital asset, aiming to bring transparency, security, and global-standard regulation to the local crypto market.
For now, nothing is finalized — but the direction seems positive and progressive.
What do you think? Should Pakistan launch its own Digital Rupee coin?
