PVARA licence tracker
Which crypto platforms hold a PVARA no-objection certificate (NOC) or licence, with sources.
| Name | PVARA status | Service | Status date | Date checked | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binance | NOC | Exchange | pvara.gov.pk | ||
| HTX | NOC | Exchange | pvara.gov.pk |
Every status shows the official source and the date we checked it. As of September 27, 2026, PVARA has confirmed NOCs for two platforms, Binance and HTX, granted on December 12, 2025, and has issued no full licences.
Short answer Only Binance and HTX hold a PVARA NOC. A NOC is not a full licence: it lets a platform register with the Financial Monitoring Unit, set up a local company and apply for a licence. No platform holds a full PVARA licence yet.
Risk Crypto-assets are highly volatile and you can lose all the money you put in. Use only platforms with PVARA approval. This is not a recommendation to buy.
