Pakistan’s crypto sandbox lets innovators test stablecoins, tokenization, and remittances under regulatory oversight.
Partnerships with World Liberty and Fasset aim to unlock $1.5T in assets and simplify cross-border payments.
Blockchain adoption empowers freelancers, attracts foreign investment, and modernizes Pakistan’s financial ecosystem.
Pakistan has officially launched its Regulatory Sandbox for virtual assets, signaling an urgent push to modernize its financial ecosystem. The sandbox creates a supervised environment for testing real-world applications like tokenization, stablecoins, remittances, and on- and off-ramp infrastructure.
Bilal bin Saqib, Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA), highlighted the initiative’s global significance during the World Liberty Forum at US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Besides providing local innovators with regulatory clarity, the sandbox also opens doors for international investors to engage with Pakistan’s digital economy. According to Saqib, the forum hosted leaders from Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, Franklin Templeton, and Coinbase.
Discussions focused on “the future of stablecoins, tokenisation, and financial innovation.” Hence, Pakistan positions itself as a proactive participant in global crypto developments while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Global Partnerships Drive Crypto Integration
Last month, Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding with World Liberty Financial (WLF) to explore its USD1 stablecoin for cross-border payments. The MoU was formalized with Zachary Witkoff, WLF’s co-founder and CEO, whose family has close ties to former US President Trump.
This collaboration marks one of the first publicly disclosed partnerships between a sovereign nation and World Liberty Financial. Additionally, it signals Pakistan’s intent to streamline international transactions and adopt blockchain-based payment systems.
Moreover, Fasset, a US-founded digital banking platform, plans to enter Pakistan through a strategic partnership with Habib Rafiq Limited (HRL). The collaboration aims to unlock Pakistan’s $1.5 trillion asset pool via tokenization.
The partnership aims to make payments faster and easier for freelancers and attract more foreign investment into local projects. Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Federal Minister for IT & Telecommunication, attended the Islamabad event, highlighting the government’s strong support for digital finance.
The sandbox and international collaborations aim to bridge gaps between global capital and Pakistan’s untapped assets. Besides enhancing transparency, blockchain adoption empowers the country’s gig economy, the world’s fourth largest. Furthermore, tokenization of real estate and domestic assets could attract foreign investment and diversify the economy.
