\"\"ISLAMABAD : 14 Jan 2026 – A delegation of World Liberty Financial USA led by Zachary Witkoff, Chief Executive Officer called on Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad today. World Liberty Financial\u00a0(WLFI) is a\u00a0decentralized finance\u00a0protocol developed by its namesake company. It was founded in 2024 by Zachary Folkman, Chase Herro,\u00a0Alex Witkoff,\u00a0Zach Witkoff, and\u00a0Trump family\u00a0members.<\/p>\n

Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Director General ISI Lt Gen Asim Malik, Minister for Finance Muhamamd Aurangzeb, SAPM Syed Tariq Fatemi and Chairman Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority Bilal Bin Saqib also attended the meeting.<\/p>\n

Welcoming the delegation, the Prime Minister shared his vision for digital Pakistan aimed at increased connectivity, access, transparency and openness for the citizens. He said the rapidly growing pace of digital payments and financial innovation are essential parts of Pakistan\u2019s rapidly expanding digital economy.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister appreciated the growing international interest in Pakistan\u2019s digital financial markets and noted with deep sense of satisfaction that Pakistan is fast becoming part of global digital finance.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zachary Witkoff showed keen interest to engage with Pakistan for a secure and transparent digital payment infrastructure, including innovations in cross-border settlement and foreign exchange processes.<\/p>\n

He lauded Pakistan\u2019s policy framework which is helping to position the country as a leading contender in the global digital finance landscape. He expressed keen desire to further deepen engagement with Pakistan to explore next-generation digital payment and cross-border finance innovations.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and CDF\/COAS Syed Asim Munir later witnessed signing of MoU between the Government of Pakistan and SC Financial Technologies LLC, an affiliated entity of World Liberty Financial, to enable structured dialogue and technical understanding around emerging digital payment architectures for cross border transactions.<\/p>\n

Minister for Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb and CEO World Liberty Financial Mr. Zachary Witkoff signed the MoU on behalf of the respective sides.<\/p>\n

World Liberty Financial\u00a0(WLFI) is a\u00a0decentralized finance\u00a0protocol developed by its namesake company. It was founded in 2024 by Zachary Folkman, Chase Herro,\u00a0Alex Witkoff,\u00a0Zach Witkoff, and\u00a0Trump family\u00a0members. It is a business venture of\u00a0Trump family.\u00a0 The Trump family receives 75% of net proceeds when WLFI sells tokens, as well as gets a cut of stablecoin profits.\u00a0By December 2025, the Trumps had profited $1 billion on proceeds, while holding $3 billion worth of unsold tokens.<\/p>\n

The company has been subject of extensive reporting on\u00a0conflict of interest\u00a0stemming from\u00a0Donald Trump’s involvement, including alleged\u00a0secret deals\u00a0with foreign entities and businesspeople who had previously been under criminal investigation or convicted.<\/p>\n

One of World Liberty’s few publicly known investors is Chinese-born billionaire\u00a0Justin Sun; shortly after Trump took office in 2025, Sun invested $30 million into World Liberty and an SEC\u00a0investigation into him was subsequently dropped.<\/p>\n

In 2025, a firm associated with the Abu Dhabi government purchased $2 billion worth of USD1\u00a0stablecoins\u00a0from World Liberty to acquire a minority stake in\u00a0Binance, which resulted in\u00a0Changpeng Zhao\u00a0receiving a pardon.<\/p><\/div>\n
