Pakistan Partners With World Liberty to Test Regulated Stablecoin Payments

Pakistan has moved to a new level in digital finance with the signing of a deal related to World Liberty Financial. The agreement is centered on the integration of the USD1 stablecoin within the regulated payment system in the country. The authorities seek to develop the cross-border payment system while ensuring that digital currencies remain under their control.

This facilitates cooperation between World Liberty Financial and the State Bank of Pakistan. The aim here is to enable the operation of the USD1 stablecoin within an approved digital payment framework. The new system will run alongside the emerging digital currency environment in Pakistan.

Participants in the process believe that this initiative can help make payments more efficient. Cross-border transactions take time and are quite costly, particularly in the case of remittances. Testing a stablecoin in a regulated environment can help Pakistan learn about making transactions faster without opening the financial system to unregulated risks. It also shows that the central bank is concerned about compliance.

First State-Level Engagement for World Liberty

This is the first state-level engagement for World Liberty Financial, a crypto-based platform founded at the end of 2024. It is affiliated with business interests connected to the family of U.S. President Donald Trump. It has gained notice due to its increasing global reach at a time when governments are re-evaluating digital payment options.

A local company, SC Financial Technologies, is also a party to this deal and has been connected with World Liberty. Although very little is known about this company, it is expected that it will play a role in technical and operational coordination efforts. The government of Pakistan has announced that it will make an official announcement regarding this deal during a visit by the World Liberty CEO to Islamabad.

Governments Explore Blockchain Finance Integration

Stablecoins have gained traction worldwide as policymakers examine their role in modern payment systems. Many governments have come to realize that they might be the bridge between the world of finance and the world of blockchain technology. In the United States, there have been positive developments for the sector.

Pakistan’s interests are also aligned with this global trend. Pakistan has been working on digital currency projects to decrease reliance on cash. Remittances from workers are still a key area of focus because of their importance to foreign exchange inflows.
