World Liberty Puts USD1 Growth Strategy to a Governance Vote
Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial has proposed deploying 5% of its WLFI token treasury—worth roughly $120 million—to accelerate adoption of its USD1 stablecoin across both centralized and decentralized finance platforms. The proposal argues that expanding USD1’s circulating supply is necessary to compete in an increasingly crowded stablecoin market and to drive long-term value across the WLFI ecosystem.
The plan is now live on the project’s governance forum, where early responses show a divided community, with some holders backing aggressive expansion and others raising concerns about treasury unlocks and governance clarity. USD1 currently ranks among the largest USD-pegged stablecoins, but still trails rivals such as PayPal’s PYUSD and the market’s dominant incumbents, underscoring the high stakes of the vote.
The outcome may offer an early signal of how WLFI holders balance caution against growth ambitions as World Liberty Financial looks to scale its stablecoin footprint.
