Crypto Brokers in Pakistan, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Pakistan's Securities and Exchange Commission (SECP) regulates capital markets and licensed local brokerages — Arif Habib, AKD Securities, Topline Securities, JS Global — that provide access to PSX-listed equities. SECP does NOT licence retail OTC FX/CFD providers; the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) treats unauthorised retail forex with offshore counterparties as a foreign-exchange violation under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act 1947. International brokers (Exness, FBS, XM, OctaFX) onboard Pakistani residents through offshore entities, accessed primarily via USDT/crypto rails.

Payment methods
Bank transferEasypaisaJazzCashVisaMastercard
Tax

Personal income tax for Pakistani residents is progressive up to 35%. Capital gains on PSX equities are taxed at 12.5% for holdings under four years (graduated by holding period). Offshore broker profits are taxable as 'other sources' income; the FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) focuses enforcement on declared remittance flows above PKR 5 million through banking channels.

Retail trading rules

SBP foreign-exchange regulations restrict retail outbound FX to authorised channels; the Roshan Digital Account exists for non-resident inward flows but not outbound speculative trading. The FIA (Federal Investigation Agency) has prosecuted individuals for unauthorised forex transactions, though enforcement is selective. USDT funding via P2P (Binance, Bybit) is the primary retail workaround given banking-channel restrictions on broker funding.
