Updated: Jan 10 2026- Funding Allocation Decision: World Liberty Financial has approved the diversion of 5% of its unlocked treasury, approximately $120 million, to drive the adoption of the USD1 stablecoin, aiming to enhance its market position within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, which is expected to significantly boost USD1's market acceptance.
- Strong Community Support: The proposal received about 77.75% approval from the community, indicating strong investor confidence in USD1's future development and further solidifying WLFI's influence within the DeFi ecosystem.
- Regulatory Application Progress: WLFI's application for a national trust charter from the OCC, if successful, would provide USD1 with federally regulated services, enhancing its appeal in the institutional market and potentially accelerating adoption through institutional channels.
- Market Growth Potential: Zach Witkoff emphasized that USD1 grew faster in its first year than any other stablecoin in history, and by converting treasury into growth capital, it aims to further expand USD1's supply and usage while deepening liquidity pools across DeFi and CeFi.
