Pakistan has signed an exploratory agreement with a company linked to Trump-backed World Liberty Financial to assess the potential use of a dollar-pegged stablecoin for cross-border payments, a source familiar with the matter said.

The agreement involves SC Financial Technologies, a little-known firm connected to World Liberty Financial, and would examine whether the company’s USD1 stablecoin could be used within Pakistan’s emerging digital payments framework, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

The token could operate alongside Pakistan’s emerging digital currency infrastructure, potentially supporting cross-border transactions such as remittances, the source told Reuters.

Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed, and details surrounding SC Financial Technologies remain limited.

Pakistan to announce stablecoin deal during Witkoff visit

Pakistan is expected to formally announce the deal later on Wednesday during a visit by World Liberty chief executive Zach Witkoff to Islamabad, according to the report.

World Liberty has already attracted attention for its role in major transactions. In May last year, MGX, a state-backed investment company from Abu Dhabi, used World Liberty’s stablecoin to facilitate the purchase of a $2 billion equity stake in Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

Earlier this week, World Liberty also launched World Liberty Markets, a new onchain lending and borrowing platform built around its USD1 stablecoin and WLFI governance token. The platform allows users to post crypto collateral such as Ether (ETH), tokenized Bitcoin (BTC) and major stablecoins.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
