【Blockchain Rhythm】Breaking news: The Pakistani authorities have just finalized an agreement with an affiliated company under World Liberty Financial, planning to use stablecoins for cross-border payments. What’s the background? World Liberty Financial is a crypto financial platform launched in September 2024, backed by capital support from the United States. The reason this cooperation has attracted attention is mainly because—this is the first time a sovereign country has officially incorporated stablecoins into cross-border settlement exploration. From a technical perspective, using stablecoins for cross-border payments can bypass the inefficiencies of traditional clearing and settlement processes and reduce foreign exchange costs. Pakistan’s move reflects a quiet shift in the global attitude towards crypto financial infrastructure. Moving forward, we should pay attention to the actual implementation progress of World Liberty in cross-border payments—this could become an important case for stablecoin application from theory to practice.

Pakistan finally figured it out: stablecoins are not just for trading cryptocurrencies.

Has the stablecoin finally broken into the mainstream? The move by the Pakistani Rupee is brilliant, directly using it at the official level. CBDC must be crying, haha.

Pakistan's move is quite something this time. Paying at the sovereign level with stablecoins really has the central banks scared.

From the source code analysis, Pakistan's move is interesting— but you need to clearly understand the specific terms of cooperation, otherwise the term "official level" can be overly exaggerated. In theory, cross-border payments with stablecoins are not that difficult; the challenge lies in regulatory frameworks and the integration of clearing and settlement, which still need further verification.
