In a related development, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) clarified that its earlier 2018 advisory did not declare cryptocurrencies illegalāit simply urged caution due to the absence of a regulatory structure.

These developments signal a dramatic turnaroundāfrom prior resistance to bold regulatory embraceāmarking a new era for blockchain innovation, consumer protection, and investor confidence in Pakistan.
