World Liberty Financial (WLF), a decentralized finance platform backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, has inked a landmark Letter of Intent with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to accelerate blockchain innovation, stablecoin adoption, and decentralized finance integration across Pakistan.
A WLF delegation, including Zachary Folkman, Zachary Witkoff, and Chase Herro has met with Pakistan’s leadership, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Army Staff Gen. Asim Munir, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Minister of Information Ataullah Tarar and Minister of Defense Khawaja Asif to formalize cooperation, marking a major step toward positioning Pakistan as a global leader in the digital finance revolution.
Pakistan’s proactive approach demonstrates its commitment to embracing the next wave of financial innovation. The government has signaled plans to announce comprehensive crypto legalization policies, further strengthening Pakistan’s position as one of the fastest-growing crypto markets in the world.
The Letter of Intent was signed during the meeting of WLF and PCC. The Scope of Cooperation between the two entities outlines collaboration in key areas: Launching regulatory sandboxes for blockchain financial product testing, facilitating the responsible growth of decentralized finance protocols, exploring tokenization of real-world assets like real estate and commodities, expanding stablecoin applications for remittances and trade, and providing strategic advisory on blockchain infrastructure and global regulatory trends
Pakistan offers one of the world’s most promising digital economies, with over 64% of its population under the age of 30. The country ranks among the top in global crypto adoption, with an estimated $300 billion in annual crypto transactions and 25 million active crypto users. With rising mobile penetration, a vibrant freelance economy, and strong government interest in blockchain, Pakistan’s youth are uniquely positioned to drive the next wave of Web3 innovation.
“Pakistan’s youth and technology sector are our greatest assets. Through partnerships like this, we are opening new doors for investment, innovation, and global leadership in the blockchain economy,” said Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb. “Our collaboration with World Liberty Financial is more than just a partnership—it’s a strategic move to empower our young population and integrate Pakistan into the future of global finance,” added PCC CEO Bilal bin Saqib.
The WLF leadership praised Pakistan’s dynamism. “Pakistan’s energy, vision, and talent make it one of the most exciting places in the world to build the future of decentralized finance,” they said.
