Pakistan’s plan to extend the transaction of cryptocurrency with the United States has come under fresh lights after signals that Pakistan’s digital asset partnership was linked to World Liberty Financial (WLF), prevalent with U.S. President Donald Trump.
While Pakistan’s foreign exchange pressures and balance of payments problems may have directly impacted crypto adoption, the formation of Pakistan’s Crypto Council (PCC) was also in response to the economic issues.Pakistan’s foreign exchange troubles and BOPs crisis has surely affected its crypto adoption, but it created a Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) in March 2025 because of the economic issues.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appointed Bilal Bin Saqib, a British-Pakistani entrepreneur as his Special Assistant on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency and further promoted him as the Chairman of the virtual Assets Regulatory Authority.
Later, Pakistan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Finance and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (Vashr), in addition to an affiliated company of World Liberty Financial.
As per the scheme, the dollar supported stablecoin by WLF is expected to be settled into the regulated digital payment system in Pakistan to facilitate international trade-related transactions and remittance from the overseas Pakistanis.
The agreement could heavily impact the use of WLF’s digital assets, potentially boosting the volume of their transactions and revenues.
According to the report, the talks in Islamabad between the senior officials of Pakistan and the World Liberty Financial executives led by CEO Zachary Witkoff resulted in the agreement.The agreement was said to have been brokered after meetings in Islamabad with the leadership of the Pakistani government including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir.
The growth has been observed, given that Trump’s cryptocurrency trading efforts have produced over $1 billion worth of profit in 2025, with renewed focus on how business interests, cryptocurrencies and international relations intersect.
