Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has confirmed that it will launch its cryptocurrency, called USD1 stablecoin. This digital token will be tied to the US dollar. The stablecoin will launch on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, with plans to expand to other blockchains later.
It is backed by cash deposits, U.S. Treasury bills, and other liquid assets. It aims to be a safe and reliable choice for investors. The company tested the coin with many transactions on the Binance BNB Chain before making the announcement.
According to WLFI, USD1 stablecoin will be fully backed by reserves audited by a third-party accounting firm. However, the company has not disclosed the name of the auditor or the launch date.
A leading digital asset custody provider, BitGo will manage reserves and provide liquidity support for the coin. The project seeks to offer a dependable digital currency for global transactions while avoiding risks linked to algorithmic stablecoins.
World Liberty Financial is positioning itself as a leader in decentralized finance and governance platforms. The company claims its new coin, USD1 stablecoin, will offer institutions a secure and trustworthy option for digital transactions.
The announcement follows WLFI’s test transactions on the Binance BNB Chain earlier this week. On-chain data also suggests that the company tested USD1 stablecoin using public wallets from crypto market maker Wintermute.
