Important recent news about WLFI:

1️⃣ Accelerating compliance process for USD1 stablecoin, federal trust license application as a key milestone
World Liberty Financial has officially submitted an application for a national trust bank license to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), aiming to provide a federal regulatory framework for the issuance, custody, and redemption of USD1 stablecoin. This move marks the transition of USD1 from a conceptual stablecoin to a compliant, institutional-grade digital dollar infrastructure. If approved, USD1 will be able to operate legally under a unified regulatory framework, laying the foundation for institutional applications such as payment settlement and corporate treasury management. This strategic layout directly expands USD1’s application space in cross-border payments and enterprise fund management, providing institutional safeguards for the project’s long-term growth potential.

2️⃣ Strategic asset allocation adjustment, strategic tilt towards the Ethereum ecosystem
WLFI’s strategic reserve address has exchanged all $15.07 million worth of WBTC for WETH, totaling 4,611.65 ETH. This significant asset reallocation reflects the project’s recognition of the importance of the Ethereum ecosystem. The co-founder stated agreement with the view that “2026 is the first year of on-chain finance, with stablecoins and Ethereum being the most important infrastructure,” and this asset optimization aims to prepare for future infrastructure development. It is also expected to significantly enhance support for Ethereum-related modules within the WLFI ecosystem.

3️⃣ Treasury funds drive USD1 ecosystem acceleration, comprehensive incentive measures promote application expansion
A governance vote passed with 77.75% approval to use part of the unlocked treasury funds to accelerate USD1 adoption. These funds will support developers, creators, and related token projects, promoting Meme projects to adopt USD1 as a liquidity base asset. As more ecosystem projects choose USD1, trading volume on exchanges is rapidly increasing, and market cap continues to rise. Targeted investment of treasury funds is expected to further expand USD1’s use cases and market penetration, creating a healthy ecosystem cycle and indirectly supporting the fundamental growth of the WLFI token.
