ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has appointed a billionaire founder of one of the leading crypto trading companies as a strategic adviser to the newly created Pakistan Crypto Council.
The “groundbreaking move” of appointing Binance’s billionaire founder Changpeng Zhao as the strategic adviser was poised to reshape the global crypto landscape, a press release by the Finance Division said on Monday.
The government officially launched the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) last month to “regulate and integrate blockchain technology and digital assets” into the country’s financial landscape and appointed entrepreneur Bilal Bin Saqib as the chief adviser to the finance minister on the council.
