Big event coming.

Pakistan is preparing to launch a USD-pegged stablecoin project in cooperation with the United States, which will involve regulatory collaboration at the central bank level to build an accepted digital payment infrastructure.

This is not just ordinary technical cooperation—it's a national strategic endorsement.

The real highlight here is: in the future, cross-border trade settlements, international aid, infrastructure investments within this ecosystem... will all use this stablecoin as the anchor settlement layer.

Imagine how this scenario will unfold:

Pakistan's trade with various countries settled with stablecoins
Middle Eastern countries paying aid projects to Pakistan using stablecoins
Large infrastructure investments transacted with stablecoins

If more and more Islamic countries, South Asian regions, and African nations start anchoring their actual economic activities to this stablecoin, using it as a "crypto version of the dollar + a hedging tool"...

When the scale of usage expands to a certain extent, it will no longer be just an ordinary stablecoin. It will gradually evolve into a new generation of international payment infrastructure.

Wow, this is the so-called "digitalization of the US dollar." The national-level endorsement is directly taking off. To be honest, I don't quite understand how the central bank will play this. If this really gets rolled out, the international trade landscape in South Asia and Africa will have to change.

Another central bank-level stablecoin, do they really think retail investors don't exist? Wait, isn't this another liquidation trap? History always repeats itself, brothers. --- Is a government-backed thing really reliable? Haven't I learned my lesson from losing a lot? --- How is the liquidation price set? Has anyone thought about this? --- Starting to go all in again, I knew it would come to this. Damn, it's too addictive. --- If this really unfolds, will the coins we hold still be worth anything? Feeling a bit anxious. --- Stop bragging. Let's talk when it actually happens. Right now, it's all just expectations. --- It’s always the same. National strategies, infrastructure, and in the end, they cut us off. Wish I had known earlier.

Damn, the national-level stablecoin is really coming now. It's no longer just small-scale efforts. Wait, if this really becomes the new international settlement layer, how panicked will the traditional US dollar system be? Speaking of which, how far can something backed by the central bank go? It still depends on subsequent policies. This game of chess is much bigger than I thought, damn it. Why did Pakistan act first while other countries are still sleeping? It feels like this is the real financial infrastructure revolution, not those hype coins. Keep a close eye on the progress of this project. It feels like a change is coming.

Wow, isn't this just another form of the US dollar, just with a different shell to continue the squeeze? --- A stablecoin backed by the central bank, this time it's for real. --- Wait, does this mean it's essentially dollarization in disguise? Developing countries are going to be trapped again. --- Something impressive, a national-level payment layer—that's what the future looks like. --- Sounds good, but only what can actually be used counts.

Wow, another central bank-level stablecoin. This time, it's really happening. Really? Pakistan's move is so aggressive? The logic of CBDC is finally being implemented by a country. Wait, with this approach, does USDT still have a future? Next, will everyone have to settle using this thing? By the way, Africa is also working on it. The global settlement landscape is really about to change. This is the true purpose of Web3, not just about trading coins. We need to keep an eye on the follow-up developments; it feels like things will move quickly. A stablecoin endorsed by a central bank is definitely not a joke.
