On April 27, Trump-backed decentralized finance protocol World Liberty Financial (WLFI) signed a letter of intent to support Pakistan’s tokenization of real-world assets and development of DeFi infrastructure.
In another major step, Pakistan’s Ministry of Finance recently commissioned the creation of the Digital Asset Authority to oversee licensing and regulation of crypto platforms.
In further development, US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order to establish a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and a "Digital Asset Stockpile".
These reserves will be initially funded using cryptocurrencies seized by the government in criminal and civil asset forfeiture cases.
