Pakistan’s Crypto Minister Bilal Bin Saqib is seeking to establish high-profile partnerships in the US, meeting with notable figures such as Brandon Lutnick, chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, and NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The discussions centered around various topics, including tokenization, Bitcoin mining, and Pakistan’s future in Web3. Cantor Fitzgerald, a significant player in the financial services sector, has recently intensified its focus on cryptocurrencies, having partnerships with firms like Anchorage Digital and Copper. This aligns with Saqib's agenda for Pakistan to enhance its involvement in the crypto space. Additionally, the recent shift in Pakistan’s approach towards cryptocurrency was marked by Saqib's appointment as special assistant on blockchain and crypto. This change reflects an emerging collaboration with the US, expanding on commitments towards decentralized finance initiatives, as indicated during a recent meeting at the White House.
