Pakistan Bets Big on Crypto: Allocates 2,000 MW for Mining Boom

Pakistan just plugged miners into the grid—hard. The government’s carving out a 2,000 MW power quota exclusively for crypto mining operations, signaling a risky-but-bold play to attract digital asset infrastructure.
Why now? Facing energy surpluses and hungry for foreign capital, Islamabad’s throwing cheap electricity at an industry most regulators still treat like radioactive waste. Miners get subsidized juice; the state gets a gamble on ’digital gold.’
Watch the hash rate spike—if the lights stay on. (And if you believe in state-sponsored crypto miracles, I’ve got a ’stable’ coin to sell you.)
