CZ: With the current pace of progress, Pakistan is expected to rank among the leading countries in global cryptocurrency by 2030.

On December 31, CEX founder CZ stated that if the current pace of regulation and application development continues, Pakistan is expected to become a leading country in global cryptocurrency by 2030. He praised Pakistan’s leadership for acting quickly and accurately capturing the genuine demand for digital assets among the young, tech-savvy population. CZ revealed that Pakistan has taken several key measures this year, including establishing a virtual asset regulatory authority, allowing compliant operations between CEXs, exploring Bitcoin reserves, and promoting the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) to attract foreign investment and enhance liquidity. When discussing the tokenization of stock markets, CZ said this would enable global investors to directly participate in Pakistani assets, describing it as a “truly global investment channel,” and emphasized that the first countries to implement such measures will reap the greatest benefits. Additionally, CZ believes that blockchain is more friendly to individuals and small to medium-sized enterprises, with lower barriers compared to banks or AI industries, stating “blockchain will not reject you,” but also called for strengthening education, university programs, and incubator development to foster a local innovation ecosystem.
