World Liberty Financial has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Pakistan's Ministry of Finance to bring its USD1 stablecoin into the country's official cross-border payment system. The collaboration aims to leverage blockchain technology for faster international remittances while complementing the existing digital payment infrastructure.
Central Bank Involvement, Regulatory Framework First
Under the MoU, World Liberty Financial will work closely with the State Bank of Pakistan to introduce USD1 within a regulated digital payments framework. The initiative will operate alongside—not replace—the country's existing digital currency infrastructure. USD1 is a fully-backed stablecoin, each token pegged 1:1 to U.S. dollars held at regulated institutions and U.S. Treasurys. Currently, USD1 is live on Ethereum, Solana, and Tron and has been listed on major exchanges including Binance, which started offering USD1 trading pairs in December 2025.
Ecosystem Expansion: Lending Platform TVL Exceeds $50M
The deal comes as World Liberty Financial aggressively expands the USD1 ecosystem. The company recently launched World Liberty Markets, a lending and borrowing platform that uses USD1 for transactions and as collateral. Within days of launch, the platform's total value locked (TVL) surpassed $50 million, signaling strong demand for stablecoin-based financial services. Pakistan's early adoption of USD1 may tap into this liquidity to offer faster cross-border payment channels for businesses and individuals.
As stablecoin adoption grows globally, similar partnerships could become a template for other emerging markets. The World Liberty Financial-Pakistan tie-up marks a tangible step in moving stablecoins from exchange assets to sovereign payment tools.
