A Historic Partnership
This meeting follows a landmark agreement signed earlier in the day. Pakistan has officially partnered with SC Financial Technologies LLC, an affiliate of World Liberty Financial.
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and Mr Zachary Witkoff signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, COAS & CDF, witnessed the signing ceremony.
The USD1 Stablecoin Initiative
Under this new partnership, Pakistan will pilot the use of World Liberty’s USD1 stablecoin. The collaboration aims to integrate this dollar-linked digital asset into Pakistan’s regulated payment structure.
The initiative targets a critical economic sector, i.e., cross-border payments. By utilising the USD1 stablecoin, Pakistan intends to reduce its reliance on physical cash and streamline remittance channels. This move signals rising global confidence in Pakistan’s fintech potential and its readiness to adopt next-generation financial solutions.
