Harnessing Surplus Energy: From Wasted Watts to Digital Assets

Pakistan’s energy sector has long grappled with the challenge of surplus electricity. High tariffs and overcapacity have led to a situation where much of the generated power goes unused. Bilal Bin Saqib, the head of the Pakistan Crypto Council and adviser to the finance minister, sees this as an opportunity.

Strategic Collaborations: Binance’s CZ Joins the Advisory Board

To navigate the complex world of cryptocurrency, Pakistan has enlisted the expertise of Changpeng Zhao, commonly known as CZ, the founder of Binance—the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

In April 2025, Zhao was appointed as a strategic adviser to the Pakistan Crypto Council. His role includes guiding blockchain infrastructure development, advising on regulatory frameworks, and supporting national initiatives like digital currency adoption and youth education in blockchain and AI technologies.

“Pakistan is opening its doors to the future of finance,” Zhao stated, expressing enthusiasm about the nation’s digital prospects. ​

Regulatory Framework: Crafting Policies for a Digital Future

Despite the absence of formal regulation, Pakistan ranks among the top 10 global crypto adopters, boasting 15–20 million users. This vibrant community has spurred the government to develop a regulatory framework that fosters innovation while ensuring compliance with international standards.

Introducing regulatory sandboxes is one such initiative, providing a controlled environment to test crypto solutions safely. Saqib emphasizes that upskilling the youth in blockchain and AI can drive job creation, boost exports through digital services, and position Pakistan as a hub for emerging tech talent.

Is Pakistan’s Energy Crisis Turning Into a Digital Miracle?

Why Cryptocurrency? Why Now?

Though the world is still warming up to the idea of cryptocurrencies, Pakistan is already placing itself among the leaders in crypto adoption. In fact, Pakistan ranks among the top 10 countries globally for cryptocurrency adoption, with an estimated 15-20 million users.

The country also boasts the third-largest freelance economy in the world. The scene is ripe for innovation, especially as the global demand for crypto continues to grow.

With the rise in solar energy adoption and the strain on Pakistan’s traditional power infrastructure, tapping into unused electricity for cryptocurrency mining makes perfect sense.

But there’s more to it than just mining Bitcoin. The country is also eyeing artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, another tech-heavy area that requires significant computing power and benefits from inexpensive, surplus energy.

CZ, the founder of Binance, has joined Pakistan’s Crypto Council as a strategic advisor. His role includes providing expertise on blockchain infrastructure, advising on crypto regulations, and supporting initiatives like digital currency adoption and blockchain education.

What is a regulatory sandbox, and why is it important for Pakistan?

A regulatory sandbox is a controlled environment where new crypto solutions and technologies can be tested safely. Pakistan aims to use sandboxes to experiment with digital solutions while ensuring they align with global regulatory standards, which will foster innovation and secure growth in the crypto sector.

How many crypto users are there in Pakistan?

Pakistan ranks among the top 10 global crypto adopters, with an estimated 15-20 million users, making it a significant player in the cryptocurrency space.
