WLFI Meets Binance’s CZ, Expands Global Crypto Push with New Pakistan Agreement
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) founders recently met with Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) in Abu Dhabi to discuss advancing global crypto adoption and setting new industry standards.
Announced in an X post on April 27, WLFI revealed that its founders — Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman, and Chase Herro — held talks with CZ to explore the next steps for innovation in the crypto space.
While no immediate funding announcements or token launches followed the meeting, it aligns with WLFI’s broader strategy to expand into new markets.
Separately, on the same day, Pakistani news outlet Profit reported that WLFI signed a Letter of Intent with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to support blockchain, decentralized finance (DeFi), and stablecoin adoption in Pakistan. During their visit, the WLFI team met with top Pakistani officials, including the Prime Minister and ministers of finance, defense, and information.
The agreement aims to help Pakistan create regulatory sandboxes, explore asset tokenization opportunities — such as in real estate — and strengthen its crypto ecosystem. Pakistan, with over 25 million active crypto users and $300 billion in annual transactions, remains one of the fastest-growing crypto markets globally.
WLFI has also attracted growing institutional attention. On April 16, DWF Labs, a major web3 investment firm and market maker, announced a $25 million purchase of WLFI governance tokens to support its U.S. expansion. As part of the partnership, DWF Labs plans to back WLFI’s DeFi offerings, including its USD1 stablecoin, which is backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents.
According to Arkham Intelligence data, WLFI currently holds approximately $102 million in cryptocurrency assets, including 22.7 million in USD Coin (USDC), $15.1 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), $13.9 million in Ethereum (ETH), and $9.93 million in Tron (TRX), among other holdings.
Despite the rapid pace of WLFI’s global expansion, the long-term impact on broader crypto and DeFi adoption remains to be seen.
