Pakistan’s government has named Bilal Bin Saqib as the special assistant to the prime minister on blockchain and cryptocurrency. A London School of Economics graduate and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Saqib also holds an MBE from King Charles III for his social impact work. He currently serves as CEO of the Pakistan crypto Council and chief advisor to the finance minister.
The appointment signals Pakistan’s growing focus on digital assets as the country prepares to allocate 2,000 megawatts of electricity for cryptocurrency mining operations. This strategic move positions Pakistan to potentially emerge as a regional leader in blockchain adoption.
