Pakistan passes landmark law to regulate crypto firms
Pakistan has officially enacted the Virtual Assets Act 2026, introducing a robust and permanent legal framework for the country’s digital asset industry.
The landmark legislation establishes the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) as the dedicated regulator and formalises oversight of all virtual asset activities, including cryptocurrencies, in Pakistan.
Authorities said the framework is designed to improve investor protection, transparency and market integrity, while also helping combat money laundering, terrorist financing and other illicit financial activity.

Uganda: Parliament passes Sovereignty Bill
Uganda Parliament has passed the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026, after adopting major amendments that narrowed its scope, removed controversial clauses and added safeguards to align it with the Constitution and existing laws. The revised Bill now applies only to agents of foreigners, with several broad powers, criminal provisions and ministerial discretion removed.
Lawmakers also replaced prior approval requirements for foreign funding with a declaration regime, introduced exemptions for regulated institutions and lawful financial flows, and cut penalties for offences, including economic sabotage. However, several MPs filed dissenting views, warning that the Bill could threaten free speech, civil liberties and constitutional rights.
