Pakistan has crossed a historic milestone in the world of digital economy by announcing the establishment of a ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’, which is not only a symbol of the country’s financial autonomy but also a precursor to emerging as a new identity for Pakistan in the global economy .Bilal Bin Saqib, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister and blockchain technology expert, has redefined Pakistan’s digital identity on the global stage. Under his leadership, Pakistan is transitioning from being just a consumer to an active architect of modern digital technology. With over 40 million crypto users worldwide, Pakistan’s presence is now more prominent than ever. The announcement of establishing a ‘Digital Assets Authority’ is a significant step in this direction, which will open new doors for global investment in the near future. To make remittances easier and more cost-effective for overseas Pakistanis, ‘stablecoins’ are being introduced, which has the potential to inject new life into the country’s economic fluidity. Training programs on Web 3.0 and artificial intelligence (AI) have been launched for Pakistani youth, which will not only promote modern skills but also transform the country’s workforce into globally competitive players. Global blockchain companies have responded positively to the invitation to start development projects in Pakistan, reflecting growing confidence in investment. These initiatives are promoting Pakistan’s digital sovereignty, reshaping its global digital identity. Pakistan is no longer just an emerging digital economy but stands at the threshold of becoming a global leader in the crypto world. The government’s efforts have put the country on the path of economic stability through digital development, and it seems that the coming era will be a guarantee of technology, autonomy, and economic prosperity for Pakistan.
