Pakistan Ends 7-Year Bitcoin & Crypto Ban for Banks

Pakistan's central bank replaced its 2018 crypto ban, letting banks serve PVARA-licensed crypto firms under strict AML and KYC rules.

Banks remain prohibited from trading, investing in, or holding crypto assets with their own funds or customer deposits.

Pakistan, already the world's third-largest retail crypto market with 40 million participants, is also pursuing bitcoin mining expansion and a national stablecoin.

Pakistan’s central bank has notified all banks and financial institutions that the country’s seven-year ban on providing Bitcoin & crypto services has been lifted.

The move follows the enactment of the 2026 Virtual Assets Act, which established Pakistan’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA) to license, regulate and supervise the sector.

While banks may now serve licensed crypto firms, they remain barred from investing, trading or holding crypto assets using their own funds or customer deposits.

Under the new framework, banks can open accounts for virtual asset service providers (VASPs) licensed under PVARA, including those still seeking approval, provided they comply with strict anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and counter-terrorism financing rules.

The State Bank of Pakistan stated:

“Subject to strict compliance with the conditions outlined herein, SBP Regulated Entities may open bank accounts of entities duly licensed by PVARA as Virtual Asset Service Providers.”

Top American Music Producer Exits Shiba Inu After Dumping His Last 1.78B SHIB
Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence reports that American music producer and former NFT advocate Steve Aoki has exited his position in Shiba Inu.


The latest transaction appears to mark the end of Aoki’s multi-year involvement with the token. On-chain data shows that he sold his remaining Shiba Inu holdings along with some Ethereum and transferred the proceeds to the U.S.-based exchange Gemini. 

Key Points

Steve Aoki sold 1.78 billion SHIB (about $10,340), fully exiting his Shiba Inu position after holding it for several years.

He also reduced his Ethereum holdings, retaining only about 5 ETH in his wallet.

The proceeds from these sales were transferred to the Gemini crypto exchange.

Weeks earlier, Aoki liquidated his Pepe holdings, suggesting the sell-off extends beyond SHIB alone.

XRP's price has fallen sharply this year, but NVT data shows the asset is currently in better shape than when it was at its higher price last year.

Although XRP has fallen 51.7% since October 2025, analysis by CryptoQuant author YJ suggests that the current price is better supported by real network activity, indicating the XRP market may have shifted from speculative trading to more stable fundamentals.

Key Points

XRP has fallen 51.7% since Q4 2025; however, current data shows its fundamentals are stronger than when it was near $3.6 in 2025.

The NVT ratio is currently 170.2, having fallen from its 2025 high, indicating the current price is better supported by actual trading activity.

Daily trading volume was between 1.1 million and 2.2 million in 2025, but is projected to increase to 1.79 million in 2026.



Daily trading volume is expected to be between 1.1 million and 2.2 million in 2025, but is projected to increase to 1.79 million to 3 million in 2026.  Trading activity remained strong throughout 2026, never falling below 1.7 million transactions.

Institutional demand grew, with approximately $1 billion flowing into spot XRP ETFs.

Despite the price decline, XRP fundamentals remain strong.

While XRP has fallen to $1.37, YJ noted in his recent market analysis that today's price is more aligned with actual network activity.

In 2025, XRP reached even higher levels, including $3.60 in July 2025, but these prices were not strongly supported by actual usage.

Now, even with lower prices, data shows higher participation across the network, indicating that the market has moved away from speculation and towards more robust fundamentals.

The Value Revealed by the NVT Ratio

To explain this, YJ mentioned the Network Value to Transaction Volume (NVT) ratio, a commonly used tool for assessing cryptocurrency valuations.

For ease of understanding, the NVT rat

EToro to acquire crypto wallet Zengo in $70 million deal

EToro (ETOR) has agreed to acquire crypto wallet provider Zengo as it brings self-custody tools into its trading platform in a deal estimated at around $70 million.

The deal pairs eToro’s multi-asset investing network with Zengo’s non-custodial wallet, according to an announcement on Wednesday.

A non-custodial wallet allows users to custody their own funds by controlling the keys to the wallet directly.

Zengo uses multi-party computation, or MPC, to secure user funds without a seed phrase, a design meant to reduce common risks tied to lost or stolen keys.

EToro said the deal will help it support newer crypto use cases such as tokenized assets and decentralized markets, including prediction platforms and perpetual futures.

“As we often say, crypto downtimes are the time to build and this acquisition reflects that long-term approach,” said eToro’s co-founder and CEO Yoni Assia.

Zengo, founded in 2018, offers features including token swaps, staking and fiat onramps. It reports more than 2 million users globally. Its wallet will remain separate from eToro’s regulated services, with users interacting directly with third-party protocols, according to Wednesday's announcement.

The acquisition is subject to closing conditions. An eToro spokesperson told CoinDesk terms of the deal aren’t being disclosed though Bloomberg reported it to be worth around $70 million.
