Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, has surged to a new all-time high in Pakistan, reaching PKR 23,726,907.75 (approx. Rs 23.72 million) on April 18, 2025. This marks a slight increase from the previous day’s closing rate of PKR 23,543,991.67, showing continued bullish momentum in the crypto market.
Why Is Bitcoin Rising in Pakistan?
The recent price surge comes after strong earnings reports from major crypto exchanges like Coinbase, which saw increased trading activity following the U.S. presidential election. Former President Donald Trump’s victory in November 2024 fueled optimism among investors, pushing Bitcoin’s value above $100,000 for the first time.
Many believe that the new U.S. administration will introduce more crypto-friendly regulations, leading to greater adoption of Bitcoin and other digital currencies.

Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, meaning it can rise or fall dramatically in a short time. While some see it as a great investment, others warn of risks. Always:
- Do your own research
