巴基斯坦数字资产管理局（PDAA）

政府已批准建立巴基斯坦数字资产管理局（PDAA），以规范基于区块链的金融基础设施

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.

财政部周三表示，巴基斯坦政府已批准建立巴基斯坦数字资产管理局（PDAA），以规范基于区块链的金融基础设施。

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

此举是因为该国正在努力采取一项策略来规范和加速其虚拟资产经济的增长。

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

该部说：“目的是确保符合FATF的创新，经济包容和负责任的数字资产。”

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月成立了国家加密委员会（PCC），为加密货币交易创建了一个法律框架，以吸引国际投资。 Crypto，Binance Changpeng Zhao的联合创始人兼前首席执行官中，世界上最有权势的人之一，随后被任命为PCC的战略顾问。

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.

包括比特币在内的加密货币在巴基斯坦不受正式监管，但也不是非法或禁止的。同样，截至2021年1月16日，巴基斯坦国家银行尚未授权任何个人或组织对虚拟货币，硬币和代币进行销售，购买，交换和投资。

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).

上个月，巴基斯坦介绍了其第一个由反洗钱（AML）和反恐融资（CTF）机构制定的特别政府组织创建的政策框架，以制定规则，以规定像加密货币这样的数字货币以及在巴基斯坦进行交易的公司如何运作。该政策的制定旨在与全球金融行动工作组（FATF）的合规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将充当专门的监管机构，并具有监督数字资产生态系统中许可，合规性和创新的任务。它将在一个单一的框架下规范交流，托管人，钱包，令牌平台，Stablecoins和Defi应用程序。

"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.

该部说：“这一战略决定使巴基斯坦与阿联酋，日本，新加坡和香港等其他前瞻性经济体保持一致，所有这些经济体都建立了数字资产调节商，以促进创新，同时确保遵守全球财务规范。”

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.

预计PDAA将规范超过250亿美元的非正式加密市场，实现国家资产和政府债务的代币化，为全球和本地投资者提供法律上的清晰度，促进巴基斯坦通过受监管的比特币挖掘的盈余电力的货币化，并增强了年轻人的能力，并为基于块链链的解决方案增强了基于块链的解决方案。

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

巴基斯坦加密委员会首席执行官本·萨基布（Bin Saqib）说：“这不仅仅是加密货币。”

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

“这是关于重写我们的财务未来，扩大访问权限并通过令牌化，数字金融和Web3创新创建新的出口渠道。”

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.

根据专门研究数据收集和可视化的德国在线平台Statista的说法，到2025年，巴基斯坦数字资产市场的预计收入估计将达到16亿美元，而预计用户的数量预计将达到27110万用户。
