Trump-Backed World Liberty Fi Expands DeFi Footprint in Pakistan Amid Geopolitical Tensions

World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform with 60% equity ownership tied to former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, has forged a strategic partnership with the Pakistan Crypto Council. The move signals growing institutional interest in blockchain infrastructure within emerging markets.

The platform’s co-founders—Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman, and Chase Hero—were received in Islamabad by PCC CEO Bilal Bin Saqib. This collaboration aims to accelerate stablecoin adoption and DeFi innovation across Pakistan’s burgeoning crypto ecosystem.

Geopolitical undertones shadow the development, as the partnership announcement coincides with heightened tensions following recent conflicts in Kashmir. market observers note the unusual convergence of political figures and decentralized finance initiatives in volatile regions.
