World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump-backed crypto project, is preparing to expand its ecosystem by tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) such as oil, gas, cotton, and timber. These assets will be paired with the platform’s USD1 stablecoin, which has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s largest stablecoins.
Tokenizing Commodities on Blockchain
Speaking at the Token2049 conference in Singapore, CEO Zack Witkoff confirmed that the team is actively developing tokenized asset offerings.
“Commodities like oil, gas, cotton, and timber should be traded on chain,” Witkoff said, emphasizing the role of blockchain in making traditionally illiquid assets more accessible.
The initiative will allow global investors to gain digital access to commodities, with USD1 serving as the trustworthy and transparent settlement layer.
USD1: A Rapidly Growing Stablecoin
Launched alongside WLFI’s governance token, the USD1 stablecoin has quickly grown into the fifth-largest stablecoin globally, reaching a market capitalization of $2.7 billion.
Key developments include:
- Expansion to Aptos blockchain, making it the first Move-based chain to support USD1.
- Positioning as “the money for the future of finance”, according to Witkoff.
- Governance through WLFI, which represents the voice of the community.
Beyond Tokens: Debit Card and Wallet Ecosystem
World Liberty Financial is building an ecosystem that goes beyond digital assets:
- A debit card is planned for launch between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026.
- Development of a mobile app and wallet system is underway, aiming to integrate stablecoin payments and tokenized asset trading in a single platform.
This expansion underscores WLFI’s vision of creating a global financial infrastructure powered by blockchain.
Trump Jr. on Global Vision
Co-founder Donald Trump Jr. highlighted the project’s international focus, noting:
“We should be leading as America… but we want this to be for the world. It’s about creating a platform for everyone to utilize.”
While the initiative carries strong U.S. roots, both Trump Jr. and Witkoff emphasized that World Liberty Financial is not a political organization.
“We love President Trump, but this is not politics — this is a business,” Witkoff clarified.
World Liberty Financial’s strategy to tokenize real-world commodities and pair them with USD1 positions the project at the forefront of blockchain-based finance. With growing stablecoin adoption, new tokenized assets, and financial products like debit cards and wallets, the project aims to build a global, accessible, and dollarized digital economy.
