As fresh military escalations erupted between Pakistan and India, an unexpected figure surfaced at the core of an unfolding diplomatic narrative — Bilal Bin Saqib, the CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). His strategic role in using his personal relationship in a blockchain-backed alliance with Donald Trump-associated World Liberty Financial (WLFi) places him at the heart of what some are calling the most unconventional diplomatic move in South Asia in recent history. Insiders reveal that Bilal’s personal relationship with key WLFi stakeholders is the catalyst for everything happening now.
Amid rising cross-border tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he played a role in defusing a military standoff between India and Pakistan — a statement that sparked widespread media scrutiny in India. Though official diplomatic channels remain quiet, Trump’s involvement and Pakistan’s deal linked a new player into South Asia’s geopolitical chessboard: WLFi, a financial initiative with ties to Trump’s global influence campaign and blockchain ambitions.
Enter Bilal Bin Saqib — a Pakistani investor and entrepreneur, widely recognized for his humanitarian efforts, now steering Pakistan’s crypto strategy. As CEO of the PCC, Bilal’s move to formalize ties with WLFi is being seen as a backchannel diplomatic signal — potentially shaping a new tech-centric peace narrative between nuclear-armed neighbors.
According to a report by Coingape, WLFI appointed Bilal as an Advisor on April 15, 2025, recognizing his track record in social entrepreneurship, blockchain advisory, and emerging market engagement. A London School of Economics graduate and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Bilal is best known for his non-profit Tayaba, which brought sustainable water solutions to rural Pakistan, and his COVID-era campaign ‘One Million Meals’, which provided over a million meals to NHS workers in the UK. Bilal has also been honoured by King Charles and is the Member of the British Empire (MBE).
India’s government has rightfully responded to these events with visible unease. While it officially downplayed Trump’s ceasefire role, Indian policymakers and experts are reportedly alarmed by the PCC-WLFi alignment. There are growing concerns that the deal could catalyze a new era of tech-based geopolitical influence — with crypto as the new soft power.
Analysts in Delhi warn that the partnership might be used to leverage financial autonomy, bypassing traditional power brokers and drawing global attention to Pakistan’s digital evolution.
By bringing together Trump’s WLFi and Pakistan’s PCC, Bilal may be crafting a new model of foreign policy — where influence is measured not in arms, but in algorithms, adoption, and access. His unique position as an advisor to WLFi, combined with his personal relationships and strategic vision, have made him the unseen architect of a new era where crypto meets diplomacy.
In a world where war often overshadows innovation, Bilal Bin Saqib stands out as a rare figure — a bridge between legacy power and future tech, quietly rewriting the script of South Asian diplomacy.
