CZ: If the current pace of progress is maintained, Pakistan is expected to become a global leader in cryptocurrency within 5 years

CZ, in an interview with Pakistan Crypto Council CEO Bilal bin Saqib, pointed out that the leadership in Pakistan has keenly recognized the strong demand for digital assets among the country's young and tech-savvy population.

CZ stated that Pakistan has made several key advancements in the crypto space this year, including the establishment of a regulatory body for virtual assets, allowing exchanges like Binance and HTX to operate, exploring the creation of a Bitcoin reserve, and researching the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) to attract foreign investment and enhance liquidity.

When discussing the tokenization of the stock market, CZ mentioned that tokenization enables global investors to directly participate in local asset investments in Pakistan, and the first countries to implement this will gain a significant first-mover advantage. Regarding individuals and small to medium-sized enterprises, CZ believes that compared to traditional banking and the AI industry, the barriers to entry for crypto and blockchain entrepreneurship are lower, providing more practical opportunities for young entrepreneurs.
