World Liberty Financial announced that its USD stablecoin USD1 has been natively issued on the Canton Network, allowing institutions to use the stablecoin for settling transactions involving tokenized real-world assets (RWA). According to the announcement, USD1 can serve as the cash leg for transactions such as derivatives collateral, institutional lending, and asset issuance and redemption. The native issuance enables it to settle in sync with tokenized assets within the same transaction, while maintaining Canton’s privacy and permission control mechanisms.According to DeFiLlama data, USD1 has a market capitalization of approximately $4.05 billion, making it the sixth-largest stablecoin, issued and managed by BitGo Bank & Trust for its reserves and minting redemption processes. USD1 was launched in March 2025, with reserves including short-term U.S. Treasury bills, government money market funds, and dollar deposits. World Liberty Financial is a crypto project supported by the Trump family, founded in 2024.Canton is a public blockchain aimed at institutional finance, issuing or processing over $90 trillion in tokenized assets monthly, with over $350 billion in on-chain U.S. Treasuries flowing through its network daily. Zak Folkman, co-founder and COO of World Liberty Financial, stated that institutions have put trillions of dollars in U.S. Treasuries and government debt on-chain, but the dollar settlement still relies on outdated infrastructure. The combination of Canton and the native USD1 allows real-world assets to complete dollar settlements with greater speed and privacy.

According to CNBC, the cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial, supported by the Trump family, stated that the rapid growth of its stablecoin USD1 and actual market demand refute external doubts about the project primarily relying on political connections for development. Currently, the circulation scale of USD1 has exceeded 4 billion dollars.World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff stated that the growth of USD1 comes from the product itself and market adoption, rather than special treatment from the Trump administration. USD1 was previously used in the 2 billion dollar investment transaction by the Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX in Binance, which is also one of the most significant institutional applications of USD1 to date.Recently, World Liberty Financial also received preliminary conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national trust bank charter, planning to directly issue and redeem USD1 through World Liberty Trust Company in the future, and manage its reserve assets. Regarding the project's relationship with the Trump family, some Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. continue to raise concerns about conflicts of interest.
