Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency has created a dedicated cryptocurrency investigation unit to investigate money laundering, terrorism financing and other crimes involving digital assets. The unit operates under the National Command and Control Centre, while the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority remains responsible for regulating the crypto sector.

Pakistan's top virtual-assets regulator has called for continued dialogue on digital assets after one of the country's most influential Islamic scholars backed a ruling declaring crypto purchases impermissible under Islamic law, creating fresh challenges for the country's efforts to build a regulated digital asset industry.
