Trump’s WLF Inks Pakistan Pact to Turbocharge Blockchain, Stablecoins, and DeFi

Pakistan’s crypto scene just got a political power-up—Trump’s World Liberty Federation (WLF) slams pen to paper on a deal that could reshape the country’s digital finance landscape. Expect blockchain infrastructure, stablecoin pilots, and DeFi experiments to get the VIP treatment.

Why it matters: This isn’t just about tech—it’s a geopolitical chess move. The partnership bypasses traditional banking roadblocks, giving Pakistan a backdoor into dollar-pegged crypto liquidity (and Wall Street’s worst nightmares).

The cynical take: Nothing unites politicians like the smell of fresh minting revenue—whether from fiat printers or algorithmic stablecoins.

WLF and Pakistan hammer out plans for blockchain and stablecoins

The official signing of the LOI happened with Pakistan’s Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, the Pakistan Crypto Council CEO Bilal Bin Saqib, the Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), and the Federal Secretary for IT all present. 

The document lays out exactly what the two sides agreed to work on together. The plan includes creating regulatory sandboxes to test blockchain financial products without putting the whole system at risk. Pakistan and WLF also agreed to help DeFi protocols grow responsibly inside the country.

Another part of the agreement focuses on the tokenization of real-world assets like real estate and commodities. On top of that, they want to expand the use of stablecoins for remittances and trade, which already make up a big part of Pakistan’s economy. WLF also agreed to provide advice on blockchain infrastructure and keep Pakistan updated on how global regulations around crypto are changing.

Pakistan’s numbers paint the picture of why this partnership is happening now. About 64% of Pakistan’s population is under 30 years old. The country already ranks high for global crypto adoption.

There are an estimated 25 million crypto users inside Pakistan today, and the country pulls off around $300 billion in crypto transactions every year.

Mobile usage keeps rising, freelancing is becoming a major income source, and there’s huge government interest in moving the economy toward blockchain technology.

Muhammad Aurangzeb said, “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.”

Bilal Bin Saqib called the collaboration a strategic move, saying, “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.”
