WORLD LIBERTY FINANCIAL SAYS ITS "USD1" STABLECOIN WILL BE BACKED BY U.S. TREASURIES, DOLLAR DEPOSITS AND CASH EQUIVALENTS https://t.co/nCHzbCGre8 — *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) March 25, 2025 Unlike some stablecoins that rely on complex financial strategies to generate yield, USD1 follows a more straightforward model. By focusing solely on holding cash and highly liquid assets, WLFI aims to eliminate unnecessary risks and provide investors with a clear and secure digital dollar option. To ensure credibility and transparency, USD1 reserves will be audited regularly by a third-party accounting firm. This approach is expected to make USD1 a reliable option for investors, institutions, and businesses looking for a stable digital asset for cross-border transactions and DeFi applications. The Growing Market for Stablecoins The launch of USD1 comes at a time when the demand for dollar-backed stablecoins is at an all-time high. According to on-chain data provider CryptoQuant, the stablecoin market has grown by more than 46% in the past year, with Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) leading the industry. WLFI has seen rapid growth since its inception, raising $550 million through two token sales, including a $250 million fundraising round last week. This strong financial backing suggests that USD1 has the potential to compete with established stablecoins in the market. Custody Support by BitGo To further enhance security, USD1 reserves will be held by BitGo, a leading digital asset custodian known for its institutional-grade security. BitGo also offers prime brokerage services, giving institutional clients access to deep liquidity and trading opportunities.
