📌 Is Crypto Legal in Pakistan?

While the State Bank of Pakistan hasn't officially regulated cryptocurrencies yet, trading on international exchanges is common. However, always follow local tax laws and stay informed about any updates.

🪙 Step 1: Choose a Crypto Exchange

These are the most popular platforms Pakistani traders use:

  • Binance – Most used worldwide (P2P works in Pakistan)
  • OKX – Low fees, easy to use
  • KuCoin – Altcoin trading & passive income tools

💳 Step 2: Buy USDT via P2P

Because direct PKR deposits are restricted, you’ll need to buy crypto through P2P:

  1. Go to Binance → P2P
  2. Choose a seller with good rating
  3. Pay using bank transfer, JazzCash, or Easypaisa
  4. Receive USDT in your wallet
