World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a company affiliated with the Trump family, has announced plans to invest $120 million of its cash flow in its USD1 stablecoin to optimise scalability and support ecosystem growth.
A step toward strengthening its ecosystem
On Wednesday, WLFI, a decentralised finance (DeFi) institution founded in 2024, announced via its governance forum that it intends to actively invest part of its unlocked cash assets to bolster the USD1 cryptocurrency. This investment aims to reinforce the supply and positioning of USD1 in an increasingly competitive stablecoin market.
“To support the development and use of USD1, World Liberty Financial plans to allocate a small percentage of unlocked WLFI tokens to promote USD1 use cases within leading CeFi and DeFi partnerships,” the WLFI team stated.
According to the advisory proposal, this allocation represents roughly 5% of the company’s treasury funds, highlighting the importance of USD1 within the WLFI ecosystem and the firm’s commitment to expanding its adoption across major centralised and decentralised finance platforms.
USD1, the cornerstone of World Liberty Financial
Launched in March 2025, USD1 has become the leading asset within the WLFI ecosystem. Recognised as one of the world’s most advanced stablecoins, it has reached a total value locked (TVL) of approximately $3 billion within six months.
WLFI attributes this success to strong community support around key on-chain use cases, such as trading, as well as strategic partnerships with major players in both CeFi and DeFi.
The company anticipates that the continued growth of USD1 will attract more users, platforms, institutions, and blockchains into its infrastructure. This, in turn, is expected to drive demand for services, integrations, liquidity incentives, and ecosystem programs. WLFI plans to support this growth by increasing the amount of dollars in circulation.
“An increase in the flow of US dollars will generate growing demand for WLFI-led services, integrations, liquidity incentives, and ecosystem programs,” the team explained.
Survey in progress, opinions divided
WLFI has launched a poll on its governance site, allowing the community to vote for, against, or abstain from the proposal. While voting criteria have not been fully clarified, the community remains divided. A slight majority currently opposes the initiative, reflecting some unease about the project.
Through this strategic investment of $120 million, World Liberty Financial is reaffirming its commitment to promoting the adoption and impact of its USD1 stablecoin within the expanding DeFi ecosystem.
While the operation could strengthen USD1’s position in the stablecoin market, the ongoing poll illustrates that community sentiment is mixed. Investors and analysts will closely watch the project, which could significantly influence WLFI’s role in the world of cryptocurrencies.
