A wave of updates from Consensus Hong Kong has put Trump-linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) back in the headlines — and this time the news is about product expansion and growing on-chain activity rather than price performance. What was announced - WLFI co-founder Zak Folkman revealed that the project will launch a FOREX-style exchange called World Swap. The service will operate inside WLFI’s stablecoin ecosystem (USD1, sometimes styled USDI), and is expected to bring new liquidity into the platform. - WLFI also hinted at further announcements planned for a Mar-a-Lago event later this month. Why it matters for USD1 - USD1 has grown quickly since launch: in roughly 10 months it rose to become the fifth-largest stablecoin by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap. Tether’s USDT remains the market leader (~$184.6B), followed by Circle’s USDC (~$73B), with Sky Protocol’s USDS and Ethena’s USDe ahead of USD1. USD1 sits close to flipping USDe — there’s only about a $1B gap in market cap. (CoinMarketCap) On-chain activity and user metrics - Usage metrics suggest USD1 isn’t just a headline-grabber: weekly stablecoin transfer volume reached $13.42B, contributing to an all-time transfer total of $252B. Weekly transfer count hit a new peak at 23.6 million, with cumulative transfers around 274.3 million. (Token Terminal) - Holder count also climbed to a record ~598.3k addresses, indicating rising adoption and interest in USD1. (Token Terminal) Price action and market signals for WLFI token - Despite subdued price action recently, WLFI’s trading activity has increased. On the 4-hour chart the token appears to be tracing a double-bottom pattern, with significant buying concentrated near $0.10. TradingView data shows a whale order — roughly $10M USDC — accumulated 47.6 million WLFI at an average of $0.109, suggesting stronger liquidity and institutional interest. - Short-term upside targets discussed by analysts include a move above $0.11 and a potential run toward $0.19 if momentum continues. Conversely, a breakdown below $0.09 could undercut the bullish narrative and limit the impact of the positive news. (TradingView) Social momentum - Social dominance for WLFI has been rising to about 0.40%, a sign that market participants are engaging with the project narrative — particularly the World Swap announcement and USD1 developments. Bottom line WLFI is expanding its product stack with a FOREX-style exchange and appears to be adding liquidity and users to its USD1 stablecoin. On-chain metrics and whale buying point to growing activity, and USD1’s rapid climb in market-cap rankings underscores that momentum. However, token price remains sensitive to technical levels, and broader adoption will be the key determinant of long-term value. Disclaimer: This article is informational and not financial advice.
