Trump-Linked Crypto Deal with Pakistan Raises Eyebrows Amid India Peace Talks
Pakistan’s newly formed crypto Council (PCC) has swiftly inked agreements with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a DeFi firm where the Trump family holds a 60% stake. The deal, aimed at boosting crypto investment, comes suspiciously close to peace negotiations between India and Pakistan—talks former President Donald Trump claims to have facilitated, though India denies his involvement.
WLF’s delegation included Zachary Witkoff, son of Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, fueling speculation about political motivations behind the timing. The PCC, barely a month old, has drawn scrutiny for the rapid pace of these deals, leaving observers questioning whether crypto innovation or geopolitical maneuvering takes precedence.
