BlockBeats News, January 14th. The Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA) announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SC Financial Technologies LLC, a subsidiary of the Trump family's cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), to explore the use of the USD1 stablecoin for cross-border payments and digital settlements.
The MoU focuses on technical cooperation, knowledge sharing, and regulatory dialogue, and at this stage does not constitute a binding agreement to deploy USD1 within the Pakistani financial system.
