The agreement will focus on technical discussion and development of expertise around a secure and transparent digital financial system, including cross-border payments and exchange mechanisms.
According to the MoU, the two parties will explore how emerging digital payment architectures, including WLFI's flagship stablecoin USD1, can be seamlessly integrated into Pakistan's financial infrastructure.
The move supports Pakistan's broader vision of Digital Pakistan to increase financial inclusion, streamline payments and closely link the country to global digital finance networks.
Last April, the Trump-backed project formed a partnership with the Pakistan Crypto Council to promote blockchain and decentralized finance in Pakistan.
The collaboration is aimed at developing regulatory sandboxes for blockchain financial products, asset tokenization, expanding the use of stability coins and developing strategic recommendations on blockchain infrastructure.
