Pakistan to tax crypto and make it a “revenue goldmine”
During a discussion with journalists on the role of cryptocurrencies in Pakistan’s economy, officials said that the country could potentially generate $90 million per year by imposing a 15% tax on crypto trading under hard-and-fast regulations.
To bring a better tax structure
On Tuesday, Country General Manager Rain Financial Inc, Zeeshan Ahmed, said that the United States and its rival country, India, are collecting billions of dollars by a 30% tax imposition on the income earned from crypto investments. Notably, the total crypto transactions in Pakistan hit the $20 billion mark in 2021, out of which the earned profit was around $650 million.Aatiqa Lateef, the Director of Public Policy at Rain Financial Inc., stood alongside Ahmed. According to Lateef, Pakistan stands out among emerging market players in the crypto sector. It has been at third position in Chainalysis 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index by growing 711% in 2020-2021.
“We are in constant touch with all regulators, including SBP, PTA, FBR, and others and will be ready to assist them,” Ahmed said, adding that the government had formed committees to discuss various scenarios and develop a policy to regulate cryptocurrency as an asset or currency.
Ahmed said that the Pakistani government might take 12-18 months to decide on the taxation law. He added that for proper security, the crypto transactions “should be treated as legal and placed under regulations following which they can consider barring conversion from Crypto into rupee account outside the country.”
Pakistan rushing for clear crypto regulations
Pakistan, which has been reluctant to work with crypto companies due to a lack of clear regulations, has recently introduced three sub-committees to decide the crypto companies’ future in the nation. The three sub-panels are set to formulate their recommendations, including legal status determination, after evaluating the pros and cons of digital assets.Continue reading by joining Cryptonary Pro

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.
