Trump-Linked Crypto Deal in Pakistan Sparks Geopolitical Scrutiny
A controversial cryptocurrency agreement between Pakistan’s Crypto Council and World Liberty Financial has drawn international attention due to its connections to former US President Donald Trump’s associates and Pakistani military leadership. The deal, signed during a sensitive period following the Pahalgam attack, positions Pakistan as an emerging crypto hub while raising eyebrows in neighboring India.
The US delegation included Zachary Folkman, Chase Herro, and Zachary Witkoff—son of Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff—adding political weight to the financial arrangement. Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir’s involvement further complicates the narrative, creating a rare intersection of cryptocurrency, geopolitics, and military diplomacy.
