Pakistan Stablecoin USD1 Joins Digital Payments System

Pakistan has agreed to use a USD-pegged stablecoin in its digital payments system. The deal involves the State Bank of Pakistan and World Liberty Financial (WLF). This move will allow the stablecoin to operate along with Pakistan’s national digital rupee.

The stablecoin is called USD1, and will make cross-border payments faster and cheaper. It could also reduce the cost of remittances, which totals to about $30 billion a year in Pakistan.

What is WLF USD1?

World Liberty Financial launched USD1 in late 2025. The coin is fully backed and works on multiple blockchain networks and is designed for global payments. In addition, USD1 aims to make international transactions more simpler than the traditional banking methods.

Because it is fully backed, users can trust that each coin is equal to one U.S. dollar. Also, the coin operates on a lot of blockchains, which makes it flexible for different systems.

How the Integration Will Work

Under the agreement, Pakistan’s central bank will include USD1 in its digital payments framework. Therefore, businesses and individuals can use the coin for international payments while staying within the official system.

This approach ensures safety and transparency. At the same time, it lets Pakistan experiment with modern digital payments without replacing its national currency.

Stablecoins and Emerging Economies

This move highlights the growing role of stablecoins in economies that are still growing. For countries like Pakistan, stablecoins can reduce being dependent on slow and costly banking. 

Furthermore, this integration shows that governments can adapt to new technology responsibly. By using a regulated stablecoin, Pakistan protects users while also being on the look out for safety.

Innovation and Global Collaboration

The deal also shows a good sign for future innovations. Other countries may follow Pakistan’s example to think modernly about cross-border payments. Also, the collaboration with WLF shows how private companies and governments can actually work well together if they want to. 

Overall, Pakistan’s decision could make international payments easier and cheaper for millions of people. It also shows that stablecoins are becoming a more mainstream tool in the global financial system.
