Is Cryptocurrency legal in Pakistan?
Previously, it was legal in Pakistan but because of some internal issues, the State Bank of Pakistan banned the sale and purchase of cryptocurrency in April 2018. The bank ordered all private and government banks to block all transactions related to cryptocurrencies. Therefore, the sale or purchase of cryptocurrency is no longer legal in Pakistan. If the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) catches anyone selling a bitcoin or buying a bitcoin, they have the authority to file a case against you.
After the ban, there is no such trustworthy platform that is legal for a cryptocurrency exchange in Pakistan. However, there is only one exchange left from where people are still buying and selling – that is localbitcoins.com. From here, you can sell or purchase bitcoin according to the ongoing cryptocurrency rate in Pakistan simply by creating a free account.
