- World Liberty minted $205M in USD1, lifting supply to $2.4B.
- Fed and SEC leaders voiced strong support for stablecoins.
- WLFI treasury reached a record $548M in assets.
World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s decentralized finance project, has seen a major boost in its stablecoin operations, minting over $200 million in USD1 just hours after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller delivered a speech praising the role of stablecoins in global finance.
$205 Million Mint Pushes Supply to Record Levels
On Thursday, World Liberty announced via X that it minted $205 million worth of its stablecoin USD1 for the treasury, raising its circulating supply to $2.4 billion. This marks the first significant issuance since late April and pushes the project further into the spotlight as one of the fastest-growing players in the stablecoin market.
🚨 We just minted $205,000,000 of USD1 for the WLFI Treasury🚨
— WLFI (@worldlibertyfi) August 20, 2025
The fastest-growing stablecoin of all time continues to scale. Backed 1:1 by USD and U.S. Treasuries. Transparent. Reliable. Built for the future of global finance.
$USD1 ☝️| $WLFI 🦅
Since its April launch, USD1 has become the sixth-largest stablecoin globally by market capitalization. The sector remains dominated by Tether (USDT) with $167 billion in supply and a 60% market share, followed by Circle’s USDC at $67.4 billion with 24% share.
Fed and SEC Signal Growing Support for Stablecoins
The timing of World Liberty’s mint coincided with Waller’s speech at a blockchain conference in Wyoming, where he emphasized stablecoins’ potential to reinforce the U.S. dollar’s role internationally.
“Stablecoins also have the potential to improve retail and cross-border payments,” Waller said, adding that the recently enacted GENIUS Act was a crucial step for regulatory clarity. His comments echoed SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who earlier called the bill a “seminal step” for U.S. crypto regulation.
WLFI Treasury Hits Record $548 Million
According to Nansen data, World Liberty Financial’s treasury now holds a record $548 million in assets, with USD1 accounting for $212 million, or 39% of its portfolio. Other major holdings include $85 million in Aave Ethereum USDT (AETHUSDT) and 19,650 ETH, valued at roughly $85 million.
The surge in stablecoin supply and treasury growth comes as World Liberty explores the creation of a publicly traded entity to manage WLFI tokens, targeting a fundraising goal of $1.5 billion.
With growing regulatory support and surging demand, World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin is solidifying its place in a market long dominated by USDT and USDC. The alignment of federal policy momentum with new capital inflows signals that stablecoins may be on the verge of a new era of mainstream adoption.
