World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is ramping up its global strategy by meeting some of the biggest names in the industry. On April 27, WLFI announced through a post on X that its founders—Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman, and Chase Herro—met with Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) in Abu Dhabi to discuss expanding crypto adoption and shaping new industry standards.
WLFI Targets Global Growth Through Strategic Meetings
The high-profile meeting with CZ marks a significant step in WLFI’s plan to penetrate new international markets. Although the immediate outcomes remain undisclosed, the founders emphasised their goal to drive crypto innovation and enhance the global financial system. No public announcements regarding new funding rounds or token launches have yet been made following the discussion.
WLFI Signs Letter of Intent with Pakistan Crypto Council
Alongside the meeting with Binance’s CZ, WLFI is expanding its influence in emerging markets. According to a report by Pakistani news outlet Profit on April 27, WLFI signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). This partnership aims to promote blockchain adoption, decentralised finance (DeFi), and stablecoins throughout Pakistan.
As part of the initiative, WLFI’s founders met with senior government officials, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister and key ministers from finance, defense, and information sectors. The collaboration will focus on creating regulatory sandboxes, exploring asset tokenization—such as real estate—and strengthening Pakistan’s overall crypto infrastructure.

Pakistan’s crypto adoption already ranks among the fastest-growing in the world, boasting over 25 million active users and approximately $300 billion in annual transaction volume.
Institutional Support: DWF Labs Invests $25 Million in WLFI
Institutional interest in WLFI is also rising sharply. On April 16, DWF Labs, a prominent Web3 investment firm and liquidity provider, announced the purchase of $25 million worth of WLFI governance tokens. The investment marks a significant part of DWF’s expansion efforts into the U.S. market.
DWF Labs will also support WLFI’s DeFi initiatives, particularly the development and promotion of the USD1 stablecoin. Backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents, USD1 is positioned as a more stable and transparent alternative to traditional stablecoins.
WLFI’s Growing Crypto Holdings
According to Arkham Intelligence, WLFI now holds over $102 million in cryptocurrency assets. Their diversified portfolio includes:
- 22.7 million USD Coin (USDC)
- $15.1 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)
- $13.9 million in Ethereum (ETH)
- $9.93 million in Tron (TRX)
This substantial asset base highlights WLFI’s growing influence and positions the platform for continued expansion across decentralized finance sectors.
What Lies Ahead for WLFI and Global Crypto Adoption?
While WLFI’s recent moves suggest an aggressive global growth strategy, questions remain about the long-term impact on worldwide crypto adoption and DeFi sector development. The partnership with Pakistan’s crypto industry leaders could establish a valuable case study for regulatory collaboration and digital financial infrastructure modernization.
Similarly, support from industry giants like Binance and DWF Labs indicates strong momentum. Yet, WLFI must navigate evolving regulatory environments and increasing competition within the DeFi landscape.
As the foundation for a broader global push takes shape, all eyes will remain on World Liberty Financial’s next steps—and how it may redefine the future of decentralized finance.
