Reports have disclosed that Pakistan wants a formal deal. The country has proposed a Memorandum of Understanding to cement cooperation in the crypto sector.
Last month, US President Donald Trump signed off on Pakistan’s Virtual Assets Ordinance, 2025. That law sets up an independent regulator for cryptocurrencies and virtual assets.
Bitcoin pioneer Michael Saylor praised Pakistan’s steps. He called it a sign that the country knows how to handle this new market.
Reports have also highlighted plans for joint work on blockchain research. Both sides want to run training sessions, share studies, and test new finance tools.
They talked about regulatory checklists, digital wallets, and how to protect investors. They agreed to meet again soon to iron out details and draft the MoU.
Bilateral trade is already on the agenda. According to the Press Information Department of Pakistan, officials aim to boost annual trade volume to $100 million.
In the fifth session of their Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, both sides signed several economic and technical cooperation protocols. They want more exports, fresh imports, and revived joint business councils. They will hold trade fairs, B2B meetings, and business forums to spur deals.
Reports say the two governments plan to improve regional routes. They will work on postal services, air links, rail lines, and cargo roads. Both sides see better transport as key to linking landlocked Kyrgyzstan with Pakistan’s ports.
The Virtual Assets Ordinance, 2025, will guide that process. It spells out licensing rules, audit needs, and penalties for fraud.
