World Liberty Financial (WLF), a project tied to the Trump family, has signed a letter of intent with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). According to the project, this partnership will boost blockchain development, stablecoin use, and DeFi expansion in Pakistan.
A WLF delegation recently met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Army Chief General Asim Munir, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, and other top officials to explore collaboration opportunities.
Pakistan is Ramping Up Crypto Developments
The Pakistani government is preparing to announce a full set of cryptocurrency regulations. This move aims to position Pakistan as one of the fastest-growing crypto hubs globally.
Last month, Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao was reported to have joined the Pakistan Crypto Council as a Strategic Advisor.
Meanwhile, president Trump is seemingly using his influence to push forward the DeFi initiative linked to World Liberty Financial.
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has voted overwhelmingly against a proposal to diversify its corporate treasury into Bitcoin.
This signals that Big Tech remains cautious about adopting the top cryptocurrencies despite rising corporate interest.
Meta Shuts Door on Bitcoin Treasury Move
According to documents shared on X, the shareholder motion received just 3.9 million votes in favor, while more than 4.9 billion opposed it. Another 8.9 million shares abstained, and 205 million were broker non-votes.

This vote follows the proposal of Ethan Peck, a Mata Shareholder, earlier this year.
However, Meta’s board rejected the proposal even before the vote, stating that the company already has robust treasury management practices.
The board maintained that there was no compelling reason to consider Bitcoin, though it did not entirely dismiss digital assets as a concept.
“While we are not opining on the merits of cryptocurrency investments compared to other assets, we believe the requested assessment is unnecessary given our existing processes to manage our corporate treasury,” Meta’s board stated.
Meanwhile, the vote ends months of speculation that Meta might follow in the footsteps of companies like Strategy, which has aggressively accumulated Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
“If a Meta or Microsoft adds BTC to its balance sheet, it will arguably have a bigger impact than all the smaller companies doing it. Kinda like when Tom Hanks got COVID, which made it feel real even though the cases had already been mounting,” Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas explained.
