CZ Embraces Pakistan’s Crypto Future, Leaving India in the Shadow

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is making headlines in Pakistan by joining forces to promote the nation’s crypto adoption. Following his appointment as Strategic Adviser to the newly-formed Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), CZ visited Islamabad and met with key Pakistani figures including the Prime Minister, Finance Minister, and representatives from the central bank and securities authority. Pakistan’s embrace of cryptocurrency is a stark contrast to India’s ongoing hesitancy. India currently holds the top spot on the Global Crypto Adoption Index, but the government has largely remained aloof, even with its highly-ranked crypto adoption.
