\"Pakistan<\/p>\n

Existing virtual asset providers must apply for an NOC by Sept. 5 or cease operations under Pakistan\u2019s new regulatory framework.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) has opened its licensing portal after notifying regulations governing crypto exchanges and other virtual asset service providers (VASPs) operating in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Companies providing virtual asset services on or before March 5 must submit an application for a no-objection certificate (NOC) by Sept. 5 or cease operations, according<\/a> to the PVARA licensing website. Operating after the deadline without submitting an application will constitute an offense, PVARA said<\/a> in a Saturday press release published by the Associated Press of Pakistan.<\/p>\n
