- WLFI explores tokenizing commodities such as oil, gas, and timber.
- USD1 stablecoin reaches a $2.7B market cap, fifth largest globally.
- A debit card and mobile app are set for launch by early 2026.
World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture backed by the Trump family, unveiled its latest expansion strategy at the Token2049 conference on Wednesday. The plan focuses on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and the continued growth of its USD1 stablecoin.
The initiative aims to bridge decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional markets by tokenizing tangible assets and pairing them with the rapidly growing USD1 stablecoin.
During his presentation, CEO Zack Witkoff confirmed that the company is actively expanding into the tokenized RWA sector. He identified commodities such as oil, gas, cotton, and timber as key areas of interest. These tokenized assets would be paired with USD1 to facilitate transparent, stable, and secure trading.
“All of those things, frankly, should be traded on-chain,” Witkoff said.

Stablecoin Growth and Market Position
World Liberty Financial has launched two primary tokens: its governance token WLFI and its USD-pegged stablecoin USD1. The latter is backed 1:1 by assets held in regulated institutions, providing a secure and trustworthy foundation for trading tokenized assets.
Witkoff described USD1 as “the money for the future of finance,” highlighting its role in supporting the platform’s broader ecosystem.
With a market capitalization of approximately $2.7 billion, USD1 has quickly climbed the ranks to become the world’s fifth-largest stablecoin. It currently operates on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Solana.
This week, the company announced that USD1 will also launch on Aptos, marking the stablecoin’s debut on a Move-based blockchain.
The WLFI governance token allows holders to actively participate in the platform’s decision-making processes. Already listed on major exchanges including Binance and OKX, WLFI is positioned as “the voice of the people” in guiding the ecosystem’s future, according to Witkoff.
Institutional Backing and Global Scope
Notably, the project has attracted significant institutional interest. UAE-based Aqua 1 Foundation recently invested $100 million in WLFI tokens.

Co-founder Donald Trump Jr. emphasized that the platform is designed for global adoption. “We want this to be for the world,” he stated.
Witkoff added that while the team openly supports President Trump, the project is structured as a business venture, not a political initiative.
Debit Card is in Development
Beyond its crypto offerings, World Liberty Financial is expanding into consumer financial services. A debit card is in development, with a launch expected in late 2025 or early 2026. The company is also building a mobile app and wallet system to give users seamless access to digital assets and payment solutions.
