Mari Technologies Limited and HTX have entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to explore potential commercial collaboration in blockchain, cryptocurrency, payments, and the Web 3.0 ecosystem within Pakistan. HTX, a global digital asset exchange with over 50 million registered users, will bring its extensive infrastructure and experience to identify, evaluate, and develop strategic opportunities alongside Mari Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mari Energies focused on data centers, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.
The collaboration outlined in the LOI aims to strengthen Pakistan’s digital economy by promoting responsible digital asset adoption and capability-building. HTX will leverage its global ecosystem and technical expertise to support professional enablement programs, technical knowledge exchange, and selective educational outreach. This initiative aligns with Pakistan’s ongoing digital transformation and financial inclusion priorities, providing both public and private sector stakeholders with access to emerging technologies and knowledge resources.
The LOI was signed on 12 December 2025 at Fauji Foundation Head Office, Rawalpindi, by Mr. Hassan A., CEO of Mari Technologies, and Mr. Steve Liu of HTX. The event was attended by senior dignitaries including Lt Gen Anwar Ali Hyder (Retd), MD & CEO Fauji Foundation, Mr. Bilal Bin Saqib MBE, Chairman PVARA, and H.E. Justin Sun, Global Advisor to HTX. The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation without creating immediate binding commitments, providing a platform to explore commercial opportunities and potential joint initiatives in the growing digital assets and blockchain sectors.
Through this collaboration, Mari Technologies and HTX aim to foster a more mature digital ecosystem in Pakistan by combining local expertise with international experience. The partnership is expected to facilitate knowledge-sharing, technical skill development, and the adoption of innovative financial technologies, enhancing the capabilities of organizations and professionals engaged in digital economy activities. The LOI represents a step towards strengthening Pakistan’s presence in global blockchain and cryptocurrency markets while supporting sustainable adoption of Web 3.0 infrastructure and services across the country.
