A crypto deal in Pakistan just before the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor has created a sensation. Investigations are being conducted in New Delhi and Washington regarding this.

A recent crypto deal between Pakistan and US President Donald Trump's family has created an international stir. The deal was struck between Pakistan's newly formed Crypto Council and US-based company World Liberty Financial (WLF), in which the Trump family holds a 60% stake. The deal is being heavily scrutinised in India and the US due to its timing and the key personalities involved.

What is the matter?

According to a report by NDTV, World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency and decentralised finance (DeFi) firm, was founded in 2024. Donald Trump's sons Eric and Donald Jr., as well as his son-in-law Jared Kushner, jointly own a 60% stake in the company. In April 2025, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Crypto Council of Pakistan, aimed at promoting blockchain technology and digital finance in Pakistan.

The deal was done during Operation Sindoor

This deal happened at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan were at their peak. After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April 2025, India took action against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan under “Operation Sindoor”. The timing of this deal and the key personalities involved in it are causing intense investigation in India and the US.

Son-in-law and son involved

The involvement of the Trump family in this deal has raised ethical and political questions. During the deal, a US delegation led by World Liberty Financial co-founder Zachary Witkoff reached Islamabad, where they met Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir. The secrecy of this meeting and the involvement of the Trump family's company has made this deal even more suspicious.

This deal is not only a big step in Pakistan's digital finance sector, but it is also important from the point of view of international politics and ethics. The involvement of the Trump family's company and the timing of the deal have made it a controversial issue, which is being investigated in both India and the US. In the coming times, more light may be shed on the impact of this deal and the intention behind it.
