Bilal bin Saqib, Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA), attended the World Liberty Forum at US President Donald Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Pakistan’s crypto chief termed the event a significant gathering of global financial leaders, crypto innovators and policymakers.
“Great day at Mar-a-Lago for the World Liberty Forum,” said Saqib in a social media post.
According to his post, representatives from major firms, including Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, Franklin Templeton and Coinbase, participated in discussions focused on “the future of stablecoins, tokenisation, and financial innovation.”
On Wednesday, prominent Wall Street executives and investors convened to discuss the “future of finance and technology” alongside federal officials and US lawmakers at the Mar-a-Lago club.
Last month, the government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Wednesday with World Liberty Financial (WLF) to explore the potential use of the company’s USD1 stablecoin for cross-border payments.
The MoU was signed during a high-level meeting with Zachary Witkoff, co-founder and CEO of World Liberty, whose family has close ties to the administration of US President Donald Trump. His father, Steve Witkoff, serves as Special Presidential Envoy for Peace Missions.
This partnership was also one of the first publicly disclosed collaborations between World Liberty Financial, which launched its cryptocurrency platform in September 2024, and a sovereign nation – Pakistan.
