CZ Joins Pakistan’s Crypto Council to Push Web3 Forward

The Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) just brought in Binance exchange’s founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) as a strategic advisor. His mission? Guide Pakistan through regulation, infrastructure planning, and Web3 education as the country ramps up its crypto efforts.

This isn’t just a high-profile hire—CZ’s appointment marks a turning point in Pakistan’s approach to modern finance. He was already at the table during recent strategic meetings with:

• Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, Pakistan’s Finance Minister
• The Securities and Exchange Commission’s chairman
• Central Bank officials and top-tier policymakers

We are sending a clear message to the world: Pakistan is open for innovation. With CZ onboard, we are accelerating our vision to make Pakistan a regional powerhouse for Web3, digital finance, and blockchain-driven growth. Pakistan is opening its doors to the future of finance,

said Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the National Crypto Council

The meeting mapped out Pakistan’s crypto ambitions: from cultivating a skilled generation through education to designing regulatory paths that could lure global investors and unlock local entrepreneurial energy.

Zhao pointed to the numbers: 240 million citizens, most of them under thirty. “This isn’t just potential—it’s momentum waiting to be activated in the world of digital assets,” he said.

Pakistan’s Playing the Long Game in Web3

This strategic appointment reflects Pakistan’s broader ambition to elevate its fintech profile globally. According to the Pakistan Crypto Council, the involvement of CZ—an advocate of decentralized access and financial inclusion—may help shape a Web3 framework capable of drawing global attention

Pakistan’s approach blends innovation with tradition, aiming to build a digital economy that encourages growth and attracts international investment. Market analysts suggest the country is modeling itself on successful regulatory environments like those of Singapore and Switzerland.

This isn’t just noise—Pakistan could actually move the needle. The country already ranked top 3 globally in crypto adoption, counting 20+ million users and $20B+ in transactions.

Bringing CZ in isn’t just about Web3 cred—it’s a nod to bigger change. Pakistan’s financial structure is evolving. We’re seeing the first signs of a real crypto playbook—and a serious push to plug into the global tech agenda.
