World Liberty Proposes Treasury Plan to Expand USD1 Stablecoin

The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has recently unveiled a new governance proposal aimed at expanding the reach and utility of its Binance-listed stablecoin USD1. 

If approved, the move would strengthen World Liberty’s position in the competitive stablecoin market.

World Liberty Plans Treasury Support for USD1

The World Liberty Financial team has proposed unlocking a small part of its community treasury to help expand the use of USD1. The aim is to boost adoption on both centralized exchanges and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.

This proposal comes after an earlier governance decision that approved a full buyback and burn program for WLFI tokens. Under that plan, treasury fees were used to buy back tokens and permanently remove them from supply to support their value.

Together, these steps show a clear plan to actively manage the treasury in order to support both the WLFI token and the USD1 stablecoin.

World Liberty Community Votes on Treasury Use

Before the WLFI token sale, about 20 billion WLFI tokens were set aside in the project’s treasury. At today’s prices, these tokens are worth around $2.4 billion. Unlocking 5% of the treasury would equal about $120 million.

This is a large amount that could help fund liquidity, user rewards, and new partnerships for USD1. World Liberty’s plans for growth depend on how these funds are used. This makes this vote very important for the project’s future.

The decision is now in the hands of the community through a governance vote. Token holders can vote to use less than 5% of the treasury or reject the proposal and keep all funds locked. They also have the option to abstain from voting.

World Liberty has said it will respect the outcome of the vote, showing its commitment to community-led decision-making.

USD1 Grows Fast but Faces Strong Competition

Since its launch earlier this year, USD1 has grown very quickly. In less than six months, it has reached almost $3 billion in total value locked. This growth comes from strong on-chain trading and several major integrations. 

The World Liberty team says ongoing outreach and real-world use cases have helped drive this progress. The community has also confirmed that all treasury-related incentives will be shared openly and clearly.

Even with this fast growth, USD1 is still behind more established stablecoins. It is now among the top 10 USD-pegged stablecoins by market value, but it remains below larger rivals such as PayPal’s PYUSD.

World Liberty is also looking beyond treasury rewards for future growth. The project plans to tokenize real-world assets, including oil. This move aims to connect traditional markets directly with DeFi, using USD1 as the main settlement asset.

There have also been talks about expanding USD1 to more blockchains. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said efforts were made to integrate the stablecoin into the Cardano network, showing growing interest from the wider blockchain community.
