A quiet revolution is sweeping through Pakistan—not with protests or politics, but with digital code, decentralized finance, and a convergence of some of the most unexpected global players. If you haven’t been paying attention to the crypto storm building in Pakistan, this is your wake-up call.
In just the last 50 days, Pakistan has moved faster than any other country in the region to lay the groundwork for becoming a future crypto powerhouse.
Here’s what you need to know—and why every Pakistani should be paying attention.
The Power Players in Play
First, meet the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), an official body created in March 2025 under the Ministry of Finance. It’s not just any council—it was immediately empowered to create a new regulatory framework for blockchain, stablecoins, and cryptocurrency integration. But what shocked even insiders? The council isn’t operating alone.
Enter Bilal Bin Saqib, the young, international face of Pakistani innovation, now the CEO of PCC. His moves are being guided by none other than Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the co-founder of Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world. CZ, who faced legal scrutiny in the U.S., has now pivoted towards the East—and Pakistan is central to his strategy.
The man giving institutional muscle to the operation?
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, whose swift moves to greenlight regulatory sandboxes and AI-data infrastructure stunned regional observers.
But perhaps the most surprising endorsement came from Army Chief General Asim Munir, who met directly with a key U.S.-linked crypto firm to discuss national implications of blockchain adoption.
Enter Trump’s Crypto Connection
And here’s where the story turns explosive. A new crypto firm called World Liberty Financial (WLF)nquietly entered into a partnership with Pakistan’s PCC in April 2025. At first glance, it looked like just another crypto-tech deal—until it was revealed that WLF is 60% owned by the Trump family, including Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Jared Kushner.
Yes, you read that right.
What’s more? This deal was signed with the full knowledge of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and reportedly discussed at the highest levels of the Pakistan Army. Why? Because WLF’s offer was simple yet revolutionary: bring in blockchain infrastructure, offer tokenized systems for remittances and trade, and introduce USD1, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by American treasuries.
Why This Matters Right Now
This isn’t just about technology. Pakistan has long suffered from a weakened rupee, unreliable remittance channels, and a banking system vulnerable to inflation. By integrating stablecoins like USD1, Pakistanis could soon bypass traditional banks altogether—sending, saving, and spending money faster, cheaper, and more securely.
And that’s where the true revolution begins.
Crypto mining farms powered by Pakistan’s surplus electricity are being discussed. AI data centers tied to blockchain security are being proposed. Young tech entrepreneurs in Pakistan are being scouted for billion-dollar projects. And while the rest of the world is distracted, Pakistan is laying down the foundations of a digital economic empire.
Is It a Scam or a Genius Play?
Let’s be clear—this isn’t without risk. The Trump family’s financial involvement, the speed of PCC’s launch, and the silence around the architecture of this project raise eyebrows. But in the world of cryptocurrency, early movers often win. Pakistan, for once, might actually be early.
What Should You Do?
If you’re a Pakistani, inside or abroad, now is the time to pay attention. Learn about USD1. Follow the developments of PCC. Watch WLF’s moves. Ask your local officials how Pakistan is preparing to use blockchain in governance, finance, and trade. Because what’s brewing isn’t just a fintech revolution—it’s a geopolitical reset with Pakistan at its center.
History will remember countries that embraced the digital frontier early. Pakistan might just surprise the world.
