Qiao Changpeng (CZ), the founder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has made a bold prediction about a country.
Pakistan, which has recently attracted attention for its innovative crypto initiatives, has the potential to become a leader in the crypto space by 2030, he said.
CZ’s remarks were made during a recent interview with Pakistan Crypto Council CEO Bilal Bin Saqib.
Former Binance CEO CZ believes Pakistan has the potential to become one of the world’s leading crypto players by 2030 if it maintains its momentum in digital asset regulation and adoption.
“If this momentum is maintained, Pakistan could become a global leader in virtual assets within five years.”
CZ said Pakistan’s relatively young and tech-savvy population is a major strength for progress in the cryptocurrency space, noting that the demand for cryptocurrencies is growing.
As you may recall, Pakistan accelerated the institutionalization of digital assets in 2025. Established the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority and authorized the operations of Binance and HTX. It also took significant steps to attract foreign investment by creating a Bitcoin (BTC) reserve fund and enabling the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
It is also known that CZ continues to serve as a strategic advisor to the Pakistan Cryptographic Council.
