Bhutan’s green crypto mining model, leveraging hydropower, has inspired Pakistan to secure $250 million for its mining expansion on April 18, 2025, per Al Jazeera updates. The funds will boost capacity to 2,500 MW by 2029, building on the $200 million raised earlier, with a focus on sustainable staking and job creation. This cross-nation influence highlights a regional shift toward eco-friendly crypto adoption, but Bhutan’s 30% GDP crypto reliance raises scalability concerns.
Critics on social platforms question whether Pakistan’s infrastructure can support this growth, citing energy distribution challenges, while supporters see it as a model for small economies. The collaboration could set a precedent for global adoption if both nations align regulations, though environmentalists warn of potential overreach if green claims aren’t verified. This development could redefine Asia’s crypto landscape in 2025.
