World Liberty Financial Proposes Using 5% of Treasury to Boost USD1 Adoption
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has put forward a proposal to use 5% of its treasury—roughly $120 million—to expand adoption of its USD1 stablecoin through strategic partnerships and ecosystem incentives. USD1, currently the seventh-largest USD-pegged stablecoin, would see its supply increased to support broader usage, which WLFI says would strengthen demand for its ecosystem services and integrations.
According to the proposal, the additional funds would back high-profile CeFi and DeFi collaborations, accelerate adoption, and help USD1 compete in a crowded stablecoin market. “The success of USD1 directly strengthens WLFI because adoption expands the footprint, utility, and economic activity of the entire WLFI ecosystem,” the team wrote.
WLFI holders would stand to benefit as well, gaining more governance power over a larger, more valuable network and having greater influence on the platform’s direction. The proposal is now open for governance voting, with stakeholders able to vote for, against, or abstain.
USD1 has already grown across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, TRON, Aptos, and AB Chain, and WLFI plans additional products such as a crypto-linked debit card compatible with Apple Pay. Despite this growth, the stablecoin has faced scrutiny due to its association with the Trump family and offshore holdings, as well as the lack of a recent reserve report.
If approved, the move could significantly boost USD1’s adoption and cement WLFI’s position in the competitive stablecoin landscape, while offering new opportunities for its governance token holders.
