Despite its geographic and economic challenges, Pakistan is increasingly positioning itself as a key regional player accepted by both the US and Iran.
The nuclear-armed country is now working aggressively to strengthen its international standing through technology, finance, and strategic partnerships tied to Washington.
Earlier this year, Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding with SC Financial Technologies — linked to World Liberty Financial and associates of Donald Trump — to explore the use of the USD1 stablecoin for cross-border payments.
Soon afterward, Pakistan’s central bank approved accounts for digital asset companies following new crypto-related legislation. Islamabad also announced the allocation of 2,000 megawatts of electricity for Bitcoin mining operations and artificial intelligence data centers.
