Pakistan has signed an agreement with a company connected to World Liberty Financial to explore the use of its dollar-linked stablecoin for cross-border payments. The source indicated the deal involves World Liberty Financial, the primary cryptocurrency venture of the family of US President Donald Trump.

This partnership is among the first publicly acknowledged collaborations between the crypto platform, launched in September 2024, and a sovereign nation. The development occurs alongside a recent thaw in diplomatic relations between Pakistan and the United States.

Under the terms, World Liberty Financial will work with Pakistan’s central bank to integrate its USD1 stablecoin into a regulated digital payments framework. The arrangement is designed to allow the token to function within Pakistan’s existing digital currency infrastructure.

The agreement was made with SC Financial Technologies, a firm with links to World Liberty that maintains a low public profile. An official announcement is anticipated later Wednesday during a visit by World Liberty CEO Zach Witkoff to Islamabad.
