Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ and the former CEO of Binance, has joined the Pakistan Crypto Council as a strategic advisor. This surprising development follows his legal troubles in the U.S., where he stepped down from Binance and faced a hefty fine and sentencing.
His appointment comes at a critical time for Pakistan, as the country navigates its stance on cryptocurrency adoption and regulation. The Pakistan Crypto Council, a growing body focused on guiding national crypto policy and education, aims to benefit from CZ’s experience in global crypto exchange operations and regulatory challenges.
While CZ’s involvement might raise eyebrows due to his recent controversies, many experts believe his global influence and knowledge could lend credibility and strategic direction to Pakistan’s crypto ambitions. The Council hopes this collaboration will help shape policies that balance innovation with compliance.
This move underscores the evolving attitude of Pakistani institutions toward cryptocurrency—shifting from resistance to strategic engagement.
