His comments are indicative of a larger idea that views technology as a tool for communication rather than conflict.

CZ’s Come After He Was Previously Named Pakistan’s Advisor To Crypto Council
It is interesting to note that CZ’s comments come after he was previously named a key advisor to the recently formed Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC).
In March 2025, the PCC was established under the Finance Division to promote blockchain integration into Pakistan’s financial ecosystem and create a regulatory framework for digital assets.
Key officials, including the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, attended a high-level meeting presided over by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb to announce CZ’s appointment.
In this role, CZ will provide guidance on developing regulatory frameworks, enhancing blockchain infrastructure, and promoting crypto education and adoption.
His appointment underscores Pakistan’s ambition to position itself as a regional leader in Web3 and digital finance, leveraging its youthful demographic—over 60% of the population is under 30—to drive innovation.
The PCC, operating under the Finance Division, aims to create a compliant and inclusive crypto ecosystem, attracting global investment and fostering technological advancement.
