When US President Donald Trump's financial earnings for 2025 were released, his family's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial (WLF), stood out by generating over $500 million from token sales alone last year. This sum is part of a larger crypto windfall worth hundreds of millions more.
Pakistan was among the first countries to partner with WLF. According to the Chainalysis crypto adoption index, Pakistan ranked third globally in crypto adoption last year, behind only India and the United States. Much of Pakistan's informal crypto activity is believed to flow through Tether’s USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin.
The World Liberty Financial delegation first arrived in Islamabad in April 2025, shortly after a deadly attack by armed fighters in Indian-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which escalated tensions between India and Pakistan.
Pakistan received $38.3 billion in remittances in the last financial year, marking its highest-ever total and a 27 percent increase over the previous year, according to the State Bank of Pakistan.
Additional developments include Pakistan hiring the Binance boss to advance its crypto initiatives and efforts to woo Trump with critical minerals. The country is also involved in brokering the US-Iran deal, with figures like Asim Munir playing influential roles.
