🧵🇺🇸🇵🇰 Pakistan Sold to the Trump Family: The Crypto Betrayal Behind the Praise
(1/5)👇
Donald Trump can’t stop singing praises for Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He calls Munir his “favourite Pakistani field marshal” and a “tough-good fighter.”
But this isn’t random diplomacy, it’s payment for services rendered.
Pakistan’s top civilian and military leaders have literally handed the keys of Pakistan's financial system straight to the Trump family’s crypto empire.

In January 2026, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb signed a high-profile MOU with Zachary Witkoff, son of Trump’s special envoy and CEO of World Liberty Financial (WLF). Standing proudly behind them were PM Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir.
The deal gives the Trump-family-controlled USD1 stablecoin direct integration into Pakistan’s regulated digital payments system and operational access to the State Bank of Pakistan.
This marks the first sovereign state partnership for WLF, a platform where the Trump family’s entity holds majority ownership and takes 75% of token sale revenues.

A private company owned by the sitting US President’s family now has a direct pipeline into Pakistan’s central banking infrastructure. USD1 will handle payments, remittances, cross-border settlements, and sit alongside any future Pakistani digital currency.
Every conversion into this Trump-backed stablecoin pulls liquidity out of Pakistan and funnels it toward US Treasury assets. The State Bank loses meaningful control over monetary policy.
This is exactly the kind of arrangement that risks accelerating inflation, rupee depreciation, and capital flight, yet Munir and Sharif greenlit it without hesitation.

In return, Pakistan received glowing Trump praise, red-carpet treatment, and even floated a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Munir and Sharif delivered exactly what the Trump family wanted: a captive market for their stablecoin and a new channel to help manage America’s debt burden.
This isn’t a strategic partnership. It’s economic colonization in the 21st century. No invasions required when local leaders voluntarily auction off monetary sovereignty.

Trump now treats Pakistan like his personal property because, functionally, that’s what it has become. The country’s financial future has been mortgaged for photo-ops and kind words from the White House.
The Sharif family, the military establishment, and their inner circle have their golden parachutes ready. The Great Crypto Sellout is done. Pakistan didn’t just sign an MoU; it signed away control.
The only real question left: How much more of the nation will be auctioned off before the consequences fully hit the people?
Wake up, Pakistan. This is what selling your sovereignty looks like.
