World Liberty Trust Unveils Game-Changing Stablecoin Platform: Issuance and Redemption Coming Soon
Forget waiting on traditional finance—World Liberty Trust just rewrote the rulebook on digital currency stability.
The Trust-First Framework
This isn't another fly-by-night crypto project. The Trust is building a fully-regulated gateway between fiat and digital assets—cutting out the middlemen that typically slow transactions and inflate costs. Their model lets users mint and cash out stablecoins directly, bypassing the usual exchange bottlenecks.
Why This Changes Everything
Stablecoins have been crypto's backbone, but redemption processes often feel like navigating a legacy bank—slow, opaque, and costly. World Liberty Trust's system promises institutional-grade reliability with DeFi speed. It's the kind of infrastructure that could finally make digital dollars truly usable for daily commerce and large-scale finance alike.
The Fine Print Reality
Of course, 'over time' means we're not flipping the switch tomorrow. Regulatory hurdles remain, and trust—especially with 'Liberty' in the name—has to be earned, not branded. Remember, even the shiniest financial innovations tend to hit speed bumps when they meet actual regulators and risk departments.
Still, if they deliver? This could be the missing link that finally bridges traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem—proving once again that the most revolutionary ideas in finance often come from building better plumbing, not just flashy new assets.
The World Liberty Trust will offer stablecoin issuance and redemption over time
Speaking on the de novo filing, Zach Witkoff, the proposed president and chairman of World Liberty Trust Company, noted, “This application marks a further evolution of the ecosystem. USD1 grew faster in its first year than any other stablecoin in history.”
He added that the USD1 token is already being utilized for international transfers, settlement processes, and treasury functions. He further asserted, “A national trust charter will allow us to bring issuance, custody, and conversion together as a full-stack offering under one highly regulated entity.”
Overall, the new trust affiliate aims to offer stablecoin issuance and redemption, fiat access services, and custody and conversion solutions to institutional clients, including crypto exchanges and investment firms. It will operate in accordance with the GENIUS Act, the stablecoin bill signed into law by President Trump in July, and ensure that all operations meet anti-money laundering and sanctions standards, according to WLFI.
Aside from World Liberty Trust, Coinbase and Crypto.com are also seeking approval for their bank charters. Just last month, the Trump administration greenlit bank charter bids from BitGo and several major crypto firms, including Fidelity Digital Assets, Circle, Ripple, and Paxos. Although compared with full-service banks, trust banks have far narrower authorities. Banking lobbyists even warned that issuing trust charters could raise systemic risks and dilute the charter’s credibility.
Witkoff says President Trump and his family will be non-voting shareholders in the trust company
President Trump helped establish World Liberty in late 2024, presenting it as a DeFi project aimed at connecting crypto investors for lending, borrowing, and trading. However, the platform has yet to offer users access to the borrowing, lending, or trading features.
Mack McCain, General Counsel of World Liberty Financial and future Chief Trust Officer of World Liberty Trust Company, believes a charter would enable the company to launch products more quickly without relying on third parties.
Nonetheless, WLFI remains under scrutiny over claims that the President and his family’s involvement present a major conflict of interest. Witkoff has responded to critics, arguing that the trust company is designed to avert any such conflicts. He commented, “We structured this trust company intentionally to avoid conflicts of interest.”
He argued that President Trump and his family will only be nonvoting stakeholders in the new trust subsidiary, and they won’t oversee the company’s daily business. In 2024, Witkoff co-launched World Liberty Financial alongside President Trump’s three sons: Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump.
The USD1 token is already listed on top Korean exchanges, including UPbit and Bithumb. It is also available on major U.S. platforms, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini.
