Pakistan’s USD1 Stablecoin Initiative: MoU Details and Motivation

The Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA) and SC Financial Technologies LLC, related to the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial, initiated a partnership to explore the USD1 stablecoin’s implementation in cross-border payments. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) facilitates technical cooperation without committing Pakistan to USD1 integration.

The MoU’s primary focus is on technical exploration and knowledge exchange rather than an immediate stablecoin deployment. Collaboration will occur with the State Bank of Pakistan to evaluate USD1’s feasibility within an established regulatory framework.

Key Players & Leadership: No confirmation or statements from PVARA or SC Financial Technologies LLC regarding their MoU or the integration with USD1 stablecoin were found. Despite mentions of significant market events, no leadership commentary is available on these topics.
