Binance founder Zhao appointed as strategic adviser to Pakistan Crypto Council

Binance’s billionaire founder Changpeng Zhao on Monday was appointed as a strategic adviser to the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), a press release issued by the Finance Division said. The Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) was officially launched last month to “regulate and integrate blockchain technology and digital assets” into the country’s financial landscape. On February 25, following a meeting between Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and a foreign delegation, the finance ministry announced it was considering “establishing a National Crypto Council” to adopt emerging digital currencies in line with global trends. In March, the government appointed]3 entrepreneur Bilal Bin Saqib as the chief adviser to the finance minister on the council. According to a press release issued today, the “groundbreaking move” of appointing Zhao as a strategic adviser was poised to reshape the global crypto landscape.
