In Pakistan, authorities are cracking down on cryptocurrency scams linked to fraudulent investment platforms, which have defrauded victims of millions of dollars. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has frozen bank accounts associated with such scams, blocked credit cards, and is coordinating with platforms like Binance to trace transactions. Fraudulent apps often lure victims with high returns, collectively amassing about $100 million. These actions aim to curb money laundering and terror financing, as Pakistan lacks formal regulations for cryptocurrency trading. Critics argue the crackdown punishes legitimate crypto traders and calls for clear regulatory frameworks instead.
