KARACHI – As of 11:18 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) on April 19, 2022, the exchange rate of Bitcoin (BTC) against the Pakistani rupee stood at Rs7,428,170.12 in the open market. This reflects a slight decrease from the previous day’s closing rate of Rs7,460,303.82 recorded on April 18, 2022.
In terms of the US Dollar, the value of Bitcoin on April 19 was $40,701.25, compared to $40,877.33 at the market close on April 18. The modest fluctuation in Bitcoin’s value shows the continued short-term volatility typical of the global cryptocurrency market, which remains sensitive to investor sentiment, regulatory news, and macroeconomic trends.
The minor dip in Bitcoin’s dollar rate had a corresponding impact on its value in Pakistani rupee terms. As the rupee fluctuates against foreign currencies, especially the US Dollar, local conversion rates for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin also shift accordingly. This underlines the dual influence of international digital asset pricing and local currency performance on Bitcoin’s value in Pakistan.
