Pakistan’s central bank recommended complete crypto ban
On October 20, 2021, the Sindh High Court set up a committee headed by the Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to investigate cryptocurrency trading/transactions in Pakistan. Local media reported on Tuesday that the committee's purported recommendation was a complete ban that would include penalties for cryptocurrency exchanges. The ban is only a recommendation so far, and it remains unclear whether law and finance ministries will vigorously challenge it during the regulatory review.This is the first time the central bank has commented on the cryptocurrency asset class after the court ordered the authorities to submit a report on the use of cryptocurrencies. The main reasons for the recommended ban are terrorist financing and money laundering, similar to other countries. However, many other countries have enacted KYC procedures to prevent such acts. The report also refers to the FIA's recent investigations into crypto exchanges such as Binance and OctaFx, claiming that these exchanges pose risks to investors.
Pakistan joins list of countries that ban cryptocurrencies
If Pakistan bans cryptocurrencies, it will join the list of about ten countries that have banned cryptocurrencies. The most prominent among them is China, which banned the asset class last year as it prepared its own central bank digital currency (CBDC). Other countries that have banned cryptocurrencies include Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Oman, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Bangladesh.Last week, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) asked a representative of Binance, a crypto exchange platform, to provide information about individuals trading on behalf of Pakistanis. It is possible that this incident, in which thousands of online investors in Pakistan lost millions of dollars in a crypto scam, also played a significant role in the recommendation. A few countries have opted to ban crypto for these reasons, but countries like South Korea have put in place legal frameworks to ensure that no illegal activities occur.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
