巴基斯坦數字資產管理局（PDAA）

政府已批准建立巴基斯坦數字資產管理局（PDAA），以規範基於區塊鏈的金融基礎設施

The government of Pakistan has approved setting up the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA) to regulate blockchain-based financial infrastructure, the finance ministry said on Wednesday.

財政部周三表示，巴基斯坦政府已批准建立巴基斯坦數字資產管理局（PDAA），以規範基於區塊鏈的金融基礎設施。

This move comes as the country is making efforts to adopt a strategy to regulate and accelerate the growth of its virtual assets economy.

此舉是因為該國正在努力採取一項策略來規範和加速其虛擬資產經濟的增長。

"The aim is to ensure FATF-compliant innovation, economic inclusion and responsible adoption of digital assets," the ministry said.

該部說：“目的是確保符合FATF的創新，經濟包容和負責任的數字資產。”

Pakistan set up a national crypto council (PCC) in March to create a legal framework for cryptocurrency trading in a bid to lure international investment. One of the world’s most powerful people in crypto, co-founder and former CEO of Binance Changpeng Zhao, was subsequently appointed as a strategic adviser to the PCC.

巴基斯坦在3月成立了國家加密委員會（PCC），為加密貨幣交易創建了一個法律框架，以吸引國際投資。 Crypto，Binance Changpeng Zhao的聯合創始人兼前首席執行官中，世界上最有權勢的人之一，隨後被任命為PCC的戰略顧問。

Cryptocurrencies including bitcoin are not officially regulated in Pakistan but are also not illegal or banned. Also, as of January 16, 2021, the State Bank of Pakistan has not authorized any individuals or organizations to carry out the sale, purchase, exchange and investment of virtual currencies, coins and tokens.

包括比特幣在內的加密貨幣在巴基斯坦不受正式監管，但也不是非法或禁止的。同樣，截至2021年1月16日，巴基斯坦國家銀行尚未授權任何個人或組織對虛擬貨幣，硬幣和代幣進行銷售，購買，交換和投資。

Last month, Pakistan introduced its first-ever policy framework, created by a special government group under the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorism Financing (CTF) authority, to set rules for how digital money like cryptocurrencies and the companies that deal in it should operate in Pakistan. The policy has been formulated to align with compliance and financial integrity guidelines of the global Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

上個月，巴基斯坦介紹了其第一個由反洗錢（AML）和反恐融資（CTF）機構制定的特別政府組織創建的政策框架，以製定規則，以規定像加密貨幣這樣的數字貨幣以及在巴基斯坦進行交易的公司如何運作。該政策的製定旨在與全球金融行動工作組（FATF）的合規性和金融完整性指南保持一致。

The PDAA will serve as a specialized regulatory body with a mandate to oversee licensing, compliance and innovation within the digital asset ecosystem. It will regulate exchanges, custodians, wallets, tokenized platforms, stablecoins and DeFi applications, all under a single framework.

PDAA將充當專門的監管機構，並具有監督數字資產生態系統中許可，合規性和創新的任務。它將在一個單一的框架下規範交流，託管人，錢包，令牌平台，Stablecoins和Defi應用程序。

"This strategic decision puts Pakistan in line with other forward-thinking economies such as the UAE, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, all of which have established digital asset regulators to foster innovation while ensuring compliance with global financial norms," the ministry said.

該部說：“這一戰略決定使巴基斯坦與阿聯酋，日本，新加坡和香港等其他前瞻性經濟體保持一致，所有這些經濟體都建立了數字資產調節商，以促進創新，同時確保遵守全球財務規範。”

The PDAA is expected to regulate an over $25 billion informal crypto market, enable tokenization of national assets and government debt, provide legal clarity to global and local investors, facilitate monetization of Pakistan’s surplus electricity through regulated bitcoin mining and empower young people and startups to build blockchain-based solutions at scale.

預計PDAA將規範超過250億美元的非正式加密市場，實現國家資產和政府債務的代幣化，為全球和本地投資者提供法律上的清晰度，促進巴基斯坦通過受監管的比特幣挖掘的盈餘電力的貨幣化，並增強了年輕人的能力，並為基於塊鍊鍊的解決方案增強了基於塊鏈的解決方案。

"This isn't just about crypto," said Bin Saqib, CEO of Pakistan Crypto Council.

巴基斯坦加密委員會首席執行官本·薩基布（Bin Saqib）說：“這不僅僅是加密貨幣。”

"It's about rewriting our financial future, expanding access and creating new export channels through tokenization, digital finance and Web3 innovation."

“這是關於重寫我們的財務未來，擴大訪問權限並通過令牌化，數字金融和Web3創新創建新的出口渠道。”

According to Statista, a German online platform that specializes in data gathering and visualization, the projected revenue in the digital assets market in Pakistan is estimated to reach $1.6 billion by 2025 while the number of users is expected to reach 27.10 million users.

根據專門研究數據收集和可視化的德國在線平台Statista的說法，到2025年，巴基斯坦數字資產市場的預計收入估計將達到16億美元，而預計用戶的數量預計將達到27110萬用戶。
