Overview

  • World Liberty Financial confirmed USD1 will go live on the Aptos blockchain on October 6 with immediate integrations across DeFi protocols including Echelon, Hyperion, Thala, Panora and Tapp.
  • Wallets and exchanges such as Petra Wallet, Backpack, OKX, Gate.io and Bitget Wallet plan day-one support to enable trading and transfers at launch.
  • CEO Zach Witkoff said a debit card pilot will roll out in the next quarter with the card targeted to launch in late 2025 or early 2026 to connect crypto balances to everyday spending.
  • WLFI executives said they are actively working on tokenizing real-world assets, highlighting commodities like oil, gas, cotton and timber as early focus areas along with real estate.
  • Since March, USD1 has grown to roughly $2.6–$2.7 billion in market value with about 79% of supply on BNB Chain, and WLFI’s Trump family ties continue to draw scrutiny as Donald Trump Jr. insists the venture is not political.
