WLFI’s USD1 Stablecoin Goes Live on Aptos With Broad Ecosystem Support
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is preparing to launch its USD1 stablecoin on the Aptos network on Oct. 6, with the announcement made jointly by Donald Trump Jr. and WLFI CEO Zach Witkoff.
The rollout positions Aptos as USD1’s first Move-based integration, chosen for its low-cost, high-speed infrastructure. Aptos has become a growing hub for real-world assets (RWAs) and stablecoins, already hosting over $1 billion in stablecoins and more than $720 million in tokenized assets.
At launch, USD1 will be supported across key Aptos defi protocols, including Echelon Market, Panora Exchange, and Tapp Exchange. Major wallets and exchanges such as Petra Wallet, Backpack, OKX, Bitget Wallet, and Gate will also integrate USD1 from day one, ensuring broad retail and institutional accessibility.
In addition to the stablecoin, WLFI unveiled plans for a crypto-linked debit card, enabling users to spend digital assets in everyday transactions. Witkoff further hinted at the company’s ambition to tokenize asset classes such as real estate, oil, and gas, expanding its role in bridging traditional finance with blockchain.
