Pakistan is stepping into the global crypto spotlight. A new collaboration with El Salvador is reshaping how emerging economies approach Bitcoin. This move could rewrite the playbook for national adoption.
From top-level talks to real infrastructure planning, the focus is clear: build strong, workable crypto policy. The goal is not hype but real-world financial transformation.
Bitcoin Becomes a Bridge Between Nations
Pakistan’s crypto leadership is no longer just talk. Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, recently met with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele. The result was a signed agreement to cooperate on Bitcoin adoption, government-level integration, and financial inclusion initiatives.
The partnership centers on policy transfer. Pakistan looks to borrow from El Salvador’s BTC reserve strategy and wallet system. This includes lessons from Bukele’s public wallet model, KYC/AML processes, and how to onboard unbanked citizens. The focus is on building practical infrastructure, not just speculative interest.
Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor also joined recent discussions with Pakistan’s Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb.
