Pakistan Ahead of India and Israel in Cryptocurrency Growth, Says Bilal Bin Saqib

Bilal Bin Saqib, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Cryptocurrency, has claimed that Pakistan has moved ahead of India and Israel in the field of cryptocurrency and is gaining global recognition in the digital economy sector.
Speaking to ARY News, Bilal Bin Saqib said the world is now acknowledging Pakistan’s rapid growth in cryptocurrency markets and digital innovation. He added that the country now needs to focus more on robotics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology.
According to him, artificial intelligence and blockchain are becoming the most important tools for the next generation economy and modern warfare strategies. He noted that AI-based systems are already processing transactions worth millions of dollars while the digital economy has reached trillions globally.
Bilal Bin Saqib stressed that Pakistan must prepare its youth for emerging technologies so they can compete effectively on the global stage.
He further stated that under the “Pakistan First” approach, efforts are underway to bring a digital revolution to the country, adding that artificial intelligence and blockchain technology should be treated with strategic national importance.
He also said that, similar to the United States, single-person companies in Pakistan could potentially generate billions of dollars if young people are empowered with the right skills, opportunities, and technological training.
