Pakistan Courts Binance to Tokenise $2B in State Assets and Launch Stablecoin

  • Pakistan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Binance to explore the tokenisation of up to $2 billion of government assets, including sovereign bonds, treasury bills, and commodity reserves.
  • The finance ministry intends for the plan to test whether blockchain-based distribution of these real-world assets RWAs can boost liquidity, transparency, and access for international investors.
  • Pakistan’s regulator also granted initial clearances to Binance and HTX to begin registering and setting up local subsidiaries.

Pakistan has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with crypto exchange Binance to explore tokenising up to US$2 billion (AU$3.06 billion) of government assets, including sovereign bonds, treasury bills and commodity reserves. 

According to Reuters, the Finance Minister, Muhammad Aurangzeb, said the plan would test whether blockchain-based distribution of real-world assets (RWAs) could improve liquidity, transparency and access to international investors. 

The commodities under consideration could include reserves such as oil, gas and metals owned by the government. The country’s Crypto Council is also looking into developing a national stablecoin.

Pakistan and Binance Forging Long-Term Ties

Tokenisation refers to creating a digital version of an asset that can be tracked and transferred on a blockchain. It’s one of the fastest-growing sectors in the crypto industry.

Aurangzeb said the MoU (which is essentially a formal agreement) signalled Pakistan’s reform direction and described it as the start of a long-term partnership, while Binance’s founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) called the agreement a positive signal for the blockchain industry and said it marked the beginning of a move toward full deployment of the tokenisation initiative.

Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority also granted initial clearances for Binance and digital-asset platform HTX to register with regulators, set up local subsidiaries and begin preparations for full exchange licence applications.

Now the clearances allow the exchanges to register on Pakistan’s anti-money laundering (AML) system, set up local subsidiaries and prepare full applications for exchange licences. The regulator added that progress through the process will depend on compliance strength.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
