The Finance Division framed the appointment as part of a broader initiative to embrace financial innovation while maintaining security standards. According to their official statement, “Bilal Bin Saqib will lend his extensive knowledge and experience to Pakistan’s efforts to integrate cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies into its financial ecosystem while ensuring the development of a robust regulatory framework for digital assets in alignment with global best practices.”

This development comes as numerous countries worldwide are establishing regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrency markets. Pakistan, which has previously taken a cautious approach to digital assets, appears to be moving toward a more structured engagement with blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

The Pakistan Crypto Council, which Saqib will advise on, is expected to play a central role in formulating policies that balance innovation with consumer protection. While specific details about the council’s authority and scope remain limited, this appointment suggests increasing institutional interest in cryptocurrency infrastructure.

Blockchain technology, which underpins cryptocurrencies, offers potential applications beyond digital currencies, including supply chain management, digital identity verification, and enhanced financial inclusion—areas that could benefit Pakistan’s developing economy.

Industry observers will likely monitor how this appointment translates into concrete policy developments for Pakistan’s approach to digital assets in the coming months.
