In a landmark move for Pakistan’s digital economy, World Liberty Financial (WLF) — the decentralized finance (DeFi) platform backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump — has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to accelerate blockchain innovation, stablecoin adoption, and DeFi integration across the country.

The WLF delegation, during its visit to Pakistan, held high-level meetings with national leaders including the Prime Minister, Chief of Army Staff, Deputy Prime Minister, and Ministers of Information and Defence. This strategic partnership aims to position Pakistan as a global hub for the digital finance revolution.
The collaboration focuses on key initiatives such as launching regulatory sandboxes for blockchain financial products, expanding DeFi protocols responsibly, tokenizing real-world assets like real estate and commodities, promoting stablecoin solutions for remittances and trade, and offering strategic advisory on blockchain infrastructure and regulatory best practices.
Pakistan’s booming digital economy—with over 64% of the population under the age of 30 and around 25 million active crypto users—makes it one of the most promising markets for Web3 innovation globally. Annual crypto transactions in Pakistan are estimated to exceed $300 billion.
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “Through partnerships like this, we are opening new doors for investment, innovation, and global leadership in the blockchain economy.”
Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, added: “Our collaboration with World Liberty Financial is a strategic move to empower Pakistan’s youth and integrate the country into the future of global finance.”
The government is expected to announce comprehensive crypto legalization policies soon, further signaling Pakistan’s commitment to embracing the blockchain economy.
