Pakistan Eyes Crypto Mining Boom with Special Power Tariffs
Pakistan is set to introduce market-based electricity tariffs to attract crypto mining and blockchain data centers. Aimed at utilizing the country’s surplus energy, the initiative seeks to reduce payments to idle power producers while developing a regulated digital asset industry. Federal and finance officials have met with the Pakistan Crypto Council to discuss frameworks that encourage global investment and promote local crypto growth. This move places Pakistan alongside nations like Russia and the U.S. in leveraging excess energy for crypto mining, as China continues underground operations despite its ban.

South Korea Opens Floodgates for Institutional Crypto Investment
South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) is set to introduce formal crypto investment guidelines for institutional investors by Q3 2025, signaling a major policy shift toward broader adoption. In April, preliminary regulations targeting non-profits and crypto exchanges will be released, followed by guidance for public companies and professional investors later in the year. These new standards will cover trading, disclosure, anti-money laundering (AML), and cybersecurity requirements, aiming to enhance transparency and investor protection. This regulatory evolution could significantly boost liquidity in South Korea’s 15.6 million-strong crypto market. Additionally, a second-phase law focused on stablecoins and broader business regulations is under development, indicating a more comprehensive approach to digital asset governance.
