The government has just launched the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA), a new body that will manage and regulate Bitcoin and other digital assets across the country.<\/p>\n<p>This move comes at a time when Pakistan\u2019s unofficial crypto market is estimated to be worth around $25 billion.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Pakistan\u2019s Ministry of Finance <a href=\"https:\/\/pid.gov.pk\/site\/press_detail\/29154\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">announced the official launch<\/a> of the PDAA, a dedicated body to regulate all things related to digital assets. This includes Bitcoin, stablecoins, tokenized assets, wallets, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/beginners-guide\/what-is-defi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decentralized finance<\/a> (DeFi) tools.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ministry of Finance, the PDAA will help build a secure, investor-friendly environment and make Pakistan more attractive to global blockchain firms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said the PDAA is not just about regulation. It\u2019s also about creating a strong, forward-thinking system that invites foreign investment, protects users, and encourages Web3 innovation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-will-the-pdaa-do\">What Will the PDAA Do?<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some key responsibilities the PDAA will take on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oversee Pakistan\u2019s massive $25B crypto market<\/li>\n<li>Promote Bitcoin mining using extra, unused energy<\/li>\n<li>Allow the tokenization of government-owned assets and public debt<\/li>\n<li>Provide legal ways for investors, both inside and outside Pakistan<\/li>\n<li>Help grow Web3 startups and digital exports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-global-crypto-partnerships-underway\">Global Crypto Partnerships Underway<\/h2>\n<p>Another eye-catching move was Pakistan\u2019s recent deal with <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/crypto-live-news\/binance-to-list-world-liberty-financial-usd-usd1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Liberty Financial<\/a> (WLF), a crypto company backed by the Trump family.
