Pakistan has taken a huge leap towards crypto integration by granting No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to global exchanges Binance and HTX.
This is a landmark move that signals Pakistan's commitment to creating a regulated, compliant, and trustworthy digital asset ecosystem.
What This Means:
Compliance Focus: The NOCs allow Binance and HTX to start setting up local subsidiaries and align their systems with Pakistan's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework.
Formal Channel: This phased approach aims to bring the country's huge retail crypto activity (Pakistan ranks as one of the top crypto markets globally) into formal, regulated channels.
Future Collaboration: The Pakistani government has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Binance to explore the "tokenization" of up to $2 Billion in sovereign and real-world assets—a massive step towards integrating blockchain into traditional finance.
This development showcases how governments are moving from uncertainty to adopting well-governed crypto infrastructure.
