WFL partners with Pakistan Crypto Council to boost blockchain

World Liberty Financial (WLF), a decentralised finance platform linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump, has signed a landmark Letter of Intent with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to accelerate blockchain innovation, stablecoin adoption, and DeFi integration in Pakistan.  

The WLF delegation, including Zachary Folkman, Chase Herro, and Zachary Witkoff-the son of U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff-met with Pakistani leadership such as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Army Chief General Asim Munir, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, and other senior officials to formalise cooperation.  

This partnership aims to position Pakistan as a regional hub for digital finance and blockchain technology, supporting the country’s efforts to announce comprehensive cryptocurrency legalisation policies soon.  

Pakistan is among the fastest-growing crypto markets globally, with an estimated $300 billion in annual crypto transactions and around 25 million active users, driven by a youthful population and rising mobile penetration.  

The collaboration outlines key initiatives including launching regulatory sandboxes for blockchain financial product testing, promoting responsible DeFi development, exploring tokenisation 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’s youth and technology sector are our greatest strengths. Partnerships like this will create new opportunities for investment, innovation, and global leadership in the blockchain economy,” Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb emphasised.

Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, described the alliance as a strategic move to empower Pakistan’s young population and integrate the country into the future of global finance.  

World Liberty Financial leadership praised Pakistan’s energy and vision, calling it an exciting location to build the future of decentralised finance.
