De-Dollarization Just Hit Pakistan's Economy

from Thought Behind Things · host Syed Muzamil Hasan Zaidi

Why is the very institution (FATF) that threatened to blacklist Pakistan over crypto and money laundering now pushing for the rapid regulation of stablecoins and virtual assets?In this episode of Dil Ki Baat, we connect the dots between local Pakistani news and massive global macroeconomic shifts. We explore how the US sovereign debt crisis and the trend of "de-dollarization" (driven by China and BRICS) have forced Western financial capital to create artificial demand for the US Dollar through stablecoins like USDC and USDT.We also break down the reality of Pakistan's $30 Billion Hawala/Hundi market, the vested interests of the local elite in Middle Eastern real estate, and why the global financial reset means capital controls in Pakistan are inevitably coming to an end. This isn't a conspiracy theory—it's the reality of how global finance dictates local policy.Timestamps:Introduction: Why is Pakistan suddenly legalizing Crypto?The reality of Pakistan's $30 Billion Hawala/Hundi MarketWhy the local elite rely on UAE infrastructureThe Global Shift: Why FATF flipped its stance on Virtual AssetsThe US Sovereign Debt Crisis & De-Dollarization explained"The Genius Act": How Stablecoins (USDC/USDT) fund US Treasury BondsWhy Western Capital wants to buy Pakistani Assets at a discountReal World Asset Tokenization (PIVARA) vs. Industrial CapitalismThe end of Capital Controls & the clash with the old Elite systemConclusion: How to prepare for the financialization of PakistanTBT’s Instagram: https://instagram.com/thoughtbehindthings TBT’s TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tbtbymuzamil TBT’s Facebook: https://facebook.com/thoughtbehindthings TBT Clips: https://youtube.com/@tbtpodcastclips Muzamil's Instagram: https://instagram.com/muzamilhasan Muzamil's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/muzamilhasan/
