In an elaboration of the matter, he said that the Pakistan government did not oppose their regulation but indicated that the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) had some reservations that are required to be addressed. He added to his statement and said:
<blockquote>“The SBP was saying we should move forward in this regard very carefully.”</blockquote>

On Wednesday, the Sindh High Court urged the Islamabad government to adopt crypto regulations and it was revealed that the court had intentions to take some steps in consultation with all stakeholders, including the Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

In addition to this, it should be noted that the rising popularity of cryptocurrencies has <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/pakistan-sees-an-explosion-of-interest-in-cryptocurrencies/">allured</a> the attention of many Pakistanis.
