I watch on ARY News and now FIA is working on Cyber Force they are saying they will take some tough and stick actions against bitcoin dealers I have personally watch one person arrested by them in our area and they are doing crackdowns against few Cyber Cafes as well as they believe they are affiliated with these activities.

I did watch that programme as well but it wasn't directly related to bitcoin; those people were actually stealing the money on the name of bitcoin (taking cash and providing them back a fixed amount of interest on a monthly basis).

Source for this news?  There is no law against bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in Pakistan so it's not illegal. State bank can't crackdown on websites because that is not within it's purview. That's the job of the PTA. Cyber crime force (whatever that is) also can't act in the absence of a law banning bitcoin.

That's all that we know in Pakistan regarding crypto.
