Pakistan and the United States are strengthening cooperation in the crypto and blockchain space. Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain, Bilal bin Saqib, recently met with Robert Bo Hines, Executive Director of President Trump’s Council on Digital Assets. They discussed global crypto policy and Pakistan’s goal to lead Web3 innovation in South Asia. The meeting aimed to improve bilateral coordination in digital finance.
This dialogue follows the minister’s June visit to the U.S. During that trip, he held meetings with several U.S. lawmakers, including Senators Cynthia Lummis, Tim Sheehy, and Rick Scott. He also met New York City Mayor Eric Adams and crypto policy advisor Bo Hines. These discussions focused on digital asset regulation and investment opportunities. Both sides expressed interest in deeper collaboration.
The crypto talks come shortly after a major announcement by President Donald Trump. Trump revealed that the U.S. and Pakistan have reached a deal to jointly develop Pakistan’s oil reserves. He shared the news on social media, calling it a breakthrough. He also hinted that the oil could be sold to India in the future.
Trump said the two countries are now selecting a company to lead the oil project. This deal signals a wider economic shift between the U.S. and Pakistan. As energy and digital assets become global priorities, both nations appear ready to cooperate across sectors. Experts believe this could open new trade routes and investment flows.
Pakistan aims to become a leader in Web3, while the U.S. seeks allies for shaping global crypto policy. This new partnership reflects growing trust and strategic alignment. With oil and digital finance now part of the same conversation, Pakistan’s economic future may see a major transformation. The coming months could reveal even deeper ties.
