CZ: If the current pace of progress continues, Pakistan could become a global leader in crypto within 5 years.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, CZ pointed out in an interview with Bilal bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, that the Pakistani leadership has keenly recognized the strong demand for digital assets from the country's young and technologically advanced population.

CZ stated that Pakistan has made several key advances in the crypto space this year, including establishing a virtual asset regulatory body, allowing exchanges such as Binance and HTX to operate, exploring the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve, and studying the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) to attract foreign investment and improve liquidity.

When discussing the tokenization of the stock market, CZ stated that tokenization allows global investors to directly participate in investments in local Pakistani assets, and countries that implement it first will gain a significant first-mover advantage. Regarding individuals and SMEs, CZ believes that compared to traditional banking and the AI industry, the barriers to entry for crypto and blockchain startups are lower, providing more real-world opportunities for young entrepreneurs.
