- USD1 launched on Solana with 100 million tokens minted for faster digital markets.
- WLFI linked USD1 to Raydium, Kamino, and Bonk to expand DeFi utilization and liquidity.
- USD1 supply increased to more than two billion in months across three blockchains.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has launched its USD1 stablecoin on the Solana blockchain, marking a pivotal expansion beyond Ethereum, BNB Chain, and TRON. The rollout includes the minting of 100 million USD1 tokens, full integration with leading Solana protocols, and support from exchanges such as Binance and Bithumb. The approach aims to accelerate the process of liquidity, enhance the use of decentralized finance (DeFi), and establish a multi-chain stable digital currency system that can operate across various blockchain environments.
USD1 is designed as more than a dollar-backed token; it is built on the high-speed, low-cost architecture of the Solana blockchain. It is also a scaffoldable financial infrastructure that can be used to execute instant settlements, cross-chain lending, and active trading in DeFi. WLFI’s framing of this launch signals its intent to create not just a stablecoin, but the backbone for what it calls “internet-speed capital markets.”
This vision was reflected in the WLFI announcement, which included a direct quote: “USD1 brings stability. Solana brings scale.” This succinct story represents the faith of this project that a dollar peg plus the throughput of Solana would result in an infrastructure that will meet the demand of present-day financial needs.
Strategic Integrations Across Solana
The launch on Solana was accompanied by several integrations intended to establish USD1 as the center of the blockchain economy. WLFI validated partnerships with Kamino Finance to lend, Raydium to provide and trade liquidity, and Bonk.fun to launch tokens. This multi-dimensional implementation aims to integrate USD1 into the core functions of Solana DeFi, encompassing both borrowing markets and liquidity pools, as well as project fundraising.
The expansion can be put into context by the USD1 fast growth. The token was originally introduced in March 2025 and has already surpassed a circulating supply of over 2.2 billion on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and TRON. The fourth blockchain integration WLFI plans to utilize as an adoption driver is the Solana launch, which aims to make it a multi-chain adoption engine. Solana has a stablecoin market of $12.83 billion; the entry of USD1 was an attempt to gain the benefit of scale and liquidity.
WLFI confirmed that 100 million tokens were minted on Solana at launch, with backing from Solana’s founding team. By aligning with leading protocols, WLFI’s stablecoin enters Solana with immediate use cases that extend beyond storage of value..

Political and Regulatory Dimensions
This launch also creates political and regulatory issues. WLFI has been reported as being 60% owned by a Trump business. This, coupled with the fact that the Trump family is entitled to 75% of all token sale revenues, raises questions about WLFI’s governance, conflict of interest, and links between political power and markets.
The ethical issues grew after MGX from Abu Dhabi reportedly invested $2 billion through USD1. This reignited conversations about foreign investments in WLFI’s operations and their bigger impact on U.S. digital finance. Issues like this come at a critical moment as the regulators are working on new regulations.
Despite such concerns, WLFI continues to increase. They are also traded on major world markets such as Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin, Gate.io, HTX, and Bullish. USD1 can be regarded as a direct competitor to USDC and USDT with Solana integrated into its network.
