Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Partners with Pakistan Crypto Council to Boost Blockchain Innovation
In a major move toward expanding blockchain innovation and stablecoin adoption, Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLF) has announced a strategic partnership with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). The agreement, signed on April 26, 2025, in Islamabad, focuses on advancing Web3 development, decentralized finance (DeFi) growth, and regulatory support in Pakistan.
Key initiatives under the partnership include the creation of regulatory sandboxes for testing blockchain products, promoting responsible DeFi applications, exploring asset tokenization, and expanding stablecoin use for remittances and international trade. WLF's delegation, featuring co-founders Zak Folkman, Chase Herro, and Zachary Witkoff, met with top Pakistani officials, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, to solidify the collaboration.
Pakistan, with an estimated $300 billion in annual crypto transactions and a youthful population, is rapidly emerging as a key player in the global crypto economy. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb praised the partnership as a catalyst for innovation and investment opportunities in the country.
The partnership aligns with WLF’s broader strategy of global expansion, following a recent $25 million investment from DWF Labs to support their USD1 stablecoin project. Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of PCC, has also been appointed as a strategic advisor to WLF, further strengthening ties between the two organizations.
