Pakistan- Kyrgyzstan Crypto pact aims to drive Blockchain innovation
Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan have agreed to deepen their collaboration in the crypto space, focusing on blockchain technology, digital finance, and regulatory alignment. This development came after a high-level video call between Pakistan’s Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain, Bilal bin Saqib, and Farukht Aminov, Director of Kyrgyzstan’s National Investment Agency.
Both sides discussed working together to develop virtual assets, share technological expertise, and harmonize rules around digital finance. The goal is to create a strong foundation for regional innovation and growth in the crypto sector.
Pakistan is already moving fast in this space. In March, the government launched the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), a state-backed body to help integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency solutions into banking, foreign exchange, and even gold trading.
During the recent meeting, Aminov emphasized the importance of learning from global best practices. Bilal bin Saqib said Kyrgyzstan could become a key partner in shaping Pakistan’s digital asset ecosystem and regulation. Talks are also underway to formalize this partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Both countries expressed their commitment to building a safe and transparent digital economy, not just for themselves but across Central and South Asia. They see regional cooperation as essential to advancing blockchain-based solutions.
Pakistan’s momentum has also gained global attention. In July, President Asif Ali Zardari approved the “Virtual Assets Ordinance, 2025,” creating an independent body to oversee the crypto industry. Tech leaders like Bitcoin pioneer Michael Saylor have praised Pakistan’s proactive approach toward digital finance.
With Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan now aligned on crypto goals, both nations are gearing up to lead the region into a new digital era.
