World Liberty’s Stablecoin Now Available on Multiple Networks Via Chainlink
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and Chainlink announced a significant advancement for WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin. Through integration with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), USD1 is now operable across multiple blockchains. This was revealed at Consensus 2025 by WLFI co-founders Zach Witkoff and Zak Folkman, along with Eric Trump.
USD1, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, boasts a $2 billion market capitalization, a considerable achievement despite trailing behind industry leaders Tether and Circle. The stablecoin is backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and fiat reserves held by BitGo Trust. Prior to this integration, USD1’s functionality was largely confined to individual blockchain ecosystems. The CCIP integration addresses a critical challenge in the stablecoin market: secure cross-chain transfer. Historically, vulnerabilities in cross-chain bridges have resulted in nearly $3 billion in user losses.
The CCIP integration enhances USD1’s security and accessibility. Ethereum and BNB Chain are the initial integrated blockchains, with further expansion planned. Witkoff emphasized Chainlink’s role in providing the institutional-grade security and reach necessary for USD1’s widespread adoption. Folkman highlighted the crucial role of Chainlink in bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), aligning with WLFI’s core mission. He envisions a future where DeFi and traditional finance seamlessly merge. USD1’s cross-chain compatibility, enabled by CCIP, represents a major step toward this vision.
This collaboration builds upon a previous integration where Chainlink’s price oracles supported WLFI’s deployment of an Aave v3 instance. The successful integration of USD1 with CCIP showcases a significant milestone in enhancing the security and scalability of stablecoins, ultimately promoting broader adoption and interoperability within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The announcement underscores WLFI’s continued innovation and strategic partnerships within the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.
