Pakistan forms crypto crime enforcement unit

• Pakistan launched a new unit to investigate cryptocurrency crimes.
• The team will target fraud, money laundering and illegal crypto activity.
• The move supports Pakistan's wider plan to regulate the crypto industry.

Pakistan has created a dedicated unit to investigate cryptocurrency-related crime and enforce digital asset laws.

The new team will focus on fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing and other illegal crypto activities.

The government said the unit will strengthen enforcement as Pakistan expands its cryptocurrency regulatory framework.

The new body will work with financial regulators, law enforcement agencies and international partners to investigate digital asset crimes.

Officials said stronger enforcement will help protect investors and improve trust in Pakistan's growing crypto market.

Pakistan has recently introduced several policies aimed at supporting legal cryptocurrency businesses while tightening oversight.

The government said the new enforcement unit is part of its broader plan to build a safer and more regulated digital asset industry.
