Huobi HTX officially approved for exchange license registration

Islamabad, Pakistan — December 12, 2025. The internationally leading digital asset exchange Huobi HTX, with over 50 million registered users worldwide, announced today that it has officially obtained a No Objection Certificate (NoC) issued by the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulation Authority (PVARA), marking the start of the licensing process for compliant exchanges under the Virtual Assets Ordinance, 2025 framework.

Obtaining the NoC is a milestone that makes Huobi HTX one of the first two global digital asset platforms to qualify for a virtual asset license in Pakistan, and it also signifies significant progress in Pakistan’s move toward a regulated and innovative digital asset ecosystem. Following the issuance of the NoC, Huobi HTX will continue to advance compliance and formal licensing procedures in accordance with the Virtual Assets Ordinance, 2025, maintaining close communication and cooperation with PVARA throughout the process to achieve full final authorization.

By securing the NoC from PVARA, Huobi HTX will also complete related registration for anti-money laundering (AML) services with the Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU). The scope of services includes virtual asset exchanges, brokerage trading, custody, and derivatives services, preparing for subsequent licensing as a full Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP).

Huobi HTX Global Advisor Sun Yuchen stated:

“Pakistan is one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrency markets in the world, with millions of young and tech-savvy users actively participating in the global digital economy. We are honored to receive the No Objection Certificate from PVARA and will continue to work closely with regulators to set industry-leading standards in compliance, transparency, and user protection. This approval not only recognizes Huobi HTX but also is a vote of confidence in Pakistan’s vision for the development of its crypto asset industry.”
