Fuelled by rupee devaluation and soaring inflation, Pakistan’s cryptocurrency market became the eighth-largest globally in 2025, with citizens holding between $20-25 million in digital currency.

However, cryptocurrency transactions can be a hassle in Pakistan because it lies in a legal grey area and is unsupported by local banks.

Nonetheless, as the numbers have shown, there is plenty of scope for Pakistanis in the global crypto market, provided they can access and utilise the best exchanges.

Here, we make the job easier for them by listing five of the best cryptocurrency exchanges for Pakistani traders.

Binance

With over 200 million users worldwide, Binance is one of the leading platforms in the competitive market of cryptocurrency exchange with the largest daily trading volume. It supports more than 500 coins for trading.

Binance also supports advanced trading tools such as peer-to-peer (P2P) trading and futures. In addition to excellent liquidity, the platform also boasts a comprehensive security protocol.

However, its interface could be a little tricky for new users. Moreover, customer support services have received mixed reviews.

Nonetheless, Binance’s latest product, Sharia earn, allows Pakistanis to earn crypto in line with Islamic values, making the platform more suitable for Muslims.

Cryptocurrency is Becoming a Major Part of Pakistan’s Financial Landscape

Realising the potential of cryptocurrency and digital assets, the government has begun a regulatory process for crypto, bringing it into the legal fold.

The Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) was launched in March 2025, and a few months later, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) was licensed to oversee crypto platforms.

With this regulatory shift and an expanding user base, crypto is now a major part of Pakistan’s financial landscape, giving people new ways to invest, trade, and protect their wealth.
