    Crypto Regualtion Pakistan Update

    Pakistan’s crypto regulator, the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA), is urging Islamic scholars to assess digital assets individually rather than issue a single ruling for all cryptocurrencies, according to Reuters. The move follows a June ruling by a Karachi seminary that cryptocurrencies do not qualify as wealth under Islamic law. The regulator argues that asset-backed tokens, such as gold-backed tokens, stablecoins and on-chain sukuk, should be evaluated separately. Discussions with religious scholars are ongoing and could influence future crypto adoption in the country.
