Discover How Pakistan Is Turning Digital Dreams Into Reality — Or Just Trying Not to Burn the House Down! đŸ”„

  • Pakistan’s crypto minister shimmied over to the U.S. to nudge Bitcoin into bed with Uncle Sam.
  • Saqib’s busy crafting FATF-friendly digital rules—because Pakistan’s not exactly known for playing it safe.
  • A Trump-connected firm is partnering up with Pakistan—probably to see if digital money can buy some good barbecue. 🍖

Minister of State for Crypto & Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib had himself a meet-and-greet with Robert ‘Bo’ Hines, the big cheese at the U.S. Council on Digital Assets. They gathered at what some folks call the White House (sounds fancy, doesn’t it?). The talk? Bitcoin, crypto, and how to keep systems from flying apart like a poorly assembled machine. According to the local rag DAWN, this was a big step for Pakistan—like teaching a pig to dance, but hey, it’s progress!

Pakistan’s Plan to Play by the Rules—Sort Of

By January 2025, President Trump—yes, that Trump—handpicked Bo Hines to run the EPA. Now he’s in charge of digital innovation, whatever that means. Meanwhile, Saqib, the crypto kingpin, got himself a shiny new special assistant on blockchain and cryptocurrency. That’s a fancy way of saying he’s the guy trying to make Pakistan look like a digital bigshot.

Saqib’s mission? Build a digital asset framework so slick that even FATF couldn’t say no. He’s also pushing Bitcoin mining and blockchain in government, finance, and land—because what could possibly go wrong? Not to mention, Pakistan boldly announced its “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” at an event in Las Vegas—because who doesn’t want their country to be the first Asian nation to stash Bitcoin like grandma’s silverware?

Saqib took a moment (probably breathless) to share his vision for Pakistan’s digital future. The Philippines is eager to catch up, but Pakistan’s leap into crypto is making waves. He’s all about creating a base for digital growth—just don’t ask him how they’ll regulate it when it all goes haywire.

Both sides, naturally, agreed they should buddy up more—setting rules, sharing tech, and helping kids get in on the blockchain action. Who knows, maybe next they’ll be trading cryptocurrency for mangoes! đŸ„­

Pakistan Hashes Out Global Ties for Crypto Glory

Saqib also schmoozed with the White House Counsel’s Office to discuss blockchain laws—probably fancy talk for figuring out how to keep the thing from destroying the planet.

Pakistan plans to dedicate 2,000 megawatts of energy—enough juice to power a small city—to mining Bitcoin and building giant AI data zones. Because what’s better than turning untapped power into digital gold? Maybe a few jobs, if the government doesn’t just burn the cash.

In April 2025, World Liberty Financial—linked to the Trump family—signed a letter promising more stablecoins, DeFi magic, and blockchain wizardry in Pakistan. Looks like Uncle Sam’s tech love is spreading, one country at a time.

Saqib, speaking at Bitcoin 2025, made it clear: Pakistan aims to be a responsible blockchain player—though sarcasm suggests we’ll see if they can walk that tightrope without falling flat.

All in all, Pakistan’s marching forward—leaning on foreign allies and dreaming of a crypto-powered future. Vietnam, take notes; blockchain isn’t just for jokes anymore, it’s the future. Or so they say—until it all crashes and burns. đŸš€đŸ”„
