Pakistan has agreed to explore the integration of World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin into its formal cross-border payments infrastructure, marking a sovereign partnership for the Trump-linked protocol.
The Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority announced Wednesday that World Liberty Financial has signed an MoU with the Ministry of Finance.
The partnership is set to explore innovation in digital finance, “particularly the use of stablecoins for cross-border transactions,” the authority said in a social media post.
Under the agreement, World Liberty Financial will collaborate with Pakistan’s central bank to integrate USD1 into a regulated digital payments framework that operates alongside the country’s own digital currency infrastructure, according to Reuters.
The Block has reached out to both World Liberty Financial and Pakistan’s regulator for additional comment.
The development comes as USD1 continues to expand its presence across major exchanges and blockchain networks after launching in March 2025.
According to World Liberty Financial’s website, each USD1 token is backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars held at regulated institutions and short-duration U.S. Treasurys. The company states reserves are periodically examined by an independent third party. The USD1 stablecoin is available across 10 blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. Binance, the largest global crypto exchange by volume, added USD1 trading pairs in December 2025.
The partnership with Pakistan follows a major regulatory move by WLFI. Earlier this month, WLTC Holdings LLC, an entity created by World Liberty, filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish a national trust bank purpose-built for USD1 operations. The application seeks to bring stablecoin issuance, custody, and conversion under a single federally regulated entity.
Concurrently, World Liberty Financial is expanding the stablecoin’s utility within digital asset markets. On Monday, the protocol launched World Liberty Markets, a lending and borrowing application powered by Dolomite. The platform supports USD1 for lending and accepts it as collateral.
Two days after launch, World Liberty Financial co-founder Zak Folkman said on X that the new markets platform had already surpassed $50 million in total value locked.
