Pakistan’s Minister of State for Finance, Ayesha Ghous Pasha, recently announced that the country will ban the operation of cryptocurrency services and will never legalize cryptocurrency transactions. This decision comes as no surprise, as the State Bank and the Ministry of Information Technology have been working on banning cryptocurrencies in the country.

Crypto is a high-risk asset that no one benefits from. Major countries are now scrapping crypto. We recommend that cryptocurrencies be banned. Cryptocurrency will never be legalized in Pakistan.

The Central Bank of Pakistan and others are drafting the ban legislation. The ban will prevent Pakistani citizens from conducting any cryptocurrency transactions. Digital State Bank Executive Director Sohail Jabbar told the committee that the cryptocurrency market has shrunk from $2.8 trillion to $1.2 trillion. China has also banned cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrencies have always been controversial, with many experts arguing that they are a high-risk asset that no one benefits from. Major countries are now scrapping crypto. Chairman Committee Salim Mandviwala said that Pakistan’s billions of dollars had been invested in cryptocurrency. Dr. Ayesha Ghous Pasha replied that FATF has also imposed conditions.

This is a significant blow to the crypto market. However, it is not the first time a country has banned cryptocurrencies. The ban will affect investors and businesses that rely on cryptocurrency transactions. The Central Bank of Pakistan and others are drafting the ban legislation.
