According to Reuters, Pakistan recently signed a significant agreement with a company affiliated with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) to deploy and integrate WLFI's USD1 stablecoin into the country's officially regulated digital payments framework. The agreement, executed in direct coordination with the State Bank of Pakistan, marks a notable step in the country's strategy to modernize its cross-border financial and payment systems.
Specifically, World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin will be allowed to operate in parallel with Pakistan's domestic digital currency infrastructure, including central bank digital currency (CBDC) initiatives and tightly regulated electronic payment platforms. The main goal of this integration is to improve the efficiency of international payments, reduce cross-border transfer costs, and accelerate transaction processing for Pakistani businesses and workers abroad.
