Pakistan’s Crypto Fatwa Sparks Debate Over Digital Asset Regulatory Framework

: Following a meeting with Islamic scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani, Bilal bin Saqib, Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, stated that stablecoins, tokenized RWAs, and other blockchain products should undergo separate technical and Sharia assessments and should not be treated as a single category. Previously, scholars including Usmani issued a fatwa determining that USDT and other cryptocurrencies do not constitute wealth recognized under Islamic Sharia law, rendering transactions involving the purchase of physical goods or digital services with them invalid. In March of this year, Pakistan passed the Virtual Assets Act, which requires exchanges, custodians, and token issuers to ensure their operations comply with Sharia law under the guidance of an Islamic finance scholars committee. Meanwhile, the country is advancing plans for a sovereign stablecoin, the tokenization of national assets, and the licensing of crypto trading platforms.

Opinion: South Korea Has Yet to Truly Enter the Stablecoin Arena — The Question "Why Use It?" Must Be Answered First

According to Yoon Seung-sik, Head of Tiger Research, the Korean won stablecoin market currently lacks a real position. This is not due to a lack of potential, but because South Korea has yet to undergo sufficient market practice and discussion. Unlike the United States, which has experienced years of trial and error, regulation, and market evolution in the stablecoin space, related discussions in South Korea have only just begun. The country's financial infrastructure is already highly developed, and the real challenge lies in answering the question, "Why do consumers need to use a won stablecoin?"Yoon Seung-sik believes that the core keywords for the digital asset industry in the first half of this year are stablecoins, tokenization, and RWA. While AI Agents and DeFi hold long-term potential, they still have a considerable distance from large-scale implementation. In contrast, stablecoins and tokenization have accumulated a wealth of global practical cases, driving more institutions to accelerate their entry. It is expected that in the second half of the year, the digital asset market will continue to focus on regulatory progress, the actual implementation results of stablecoins and RWAs, as well as new narratives for the retail market.

Binance Research: On-chain tokenized assets have grown 589% since 2025 to over $31 billion

According to a Binance Research report, on-chain tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) have grown by 589% since the beginning of 2025, surpassing $31 billion in total value—up from $21.5 billion at the start of 2026. Bonds and money market funds contributed most significantly, growing by 83% and adding approximately $6.5 billion. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries, gold-backed assets, and tokenized public equities were also key growth drivers. Binance Research notes that tokenization is transitioning from experimental phases into an institutional competitive market, with institutional issuers leveraging blockchain to enhance settlement efficiency, asset transparency, and transferability. However, regulation remains the biggest current constraint; the next phase of growth will depend more heavily on improvements in liquidity, legal enforceability, and secondary market infrastructure.
