  • CEO Zach Witkoff said a debit card pilot is slated for next quarter with a public launch targeted for Q4 2025 or Q1 2026, and he outlined active work to tokenize real estate, oil and gas, and other commodities.
  • USD1 maintains a stated 1:1 dollar peg backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents, with reserves and issuance handled by BitGo Trust Company.
