Pakistan Launches Crypto Investigation Unit to Fight Money Laundering

Pakistan has launched a dedicated crypto investigation unit to combat money laundering. This enforcement initiative operates alongside the PVARA licensing regime for exchanges, signaling a dual-track approach to digital assets. By strengthening the policing side of its crypto push, Islamabad aims to monitor financial crimes while simultaneously licensing platforms. This strategy ensures that the expansion of digital asset adoption is balanced with rigorous oversight to prevent illegal activities and secure the national financial system.
