World Liberty Financial Plans to Launch USD1, the Institutional-Ready Stablecoin
World Liberty Financial Inc. (“WLFI”), the developer of a pioneering DeFi protocol and governance platform inspired by President Donald J. Trump, today announced its plans to launch USD1, a stablecoin redeemable 1:1 for the US dollar (USD).
WLFI’s USD1 will be 100% backed by short-term US government treasuries, US dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents. Initially, USD1 tokens will be minted on the Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchains, with plans to expand to other protocols in the future. Each token is intended to maintain a value of $1 USD, fully backed by a reserve portfolio audited regularly by a third-party accounting firm.
“USD1 provides what algorithmic and anonymous crypto projects cannot—access to the power of DeFi underpinned by the credibility and safeguards of the most respected names in traditional finance,” said Zach Witkoff, WLFI co-founder. “We’re offering a digital dollar stablecoin that sovereign investors and major institutions can confidently integrate into their strategies for seamless, secure cross-border transactions.”
USD1 reserves will be custodied by BitGo, the world’s largest independent qualified custodian and leader in digital asset security, custody, and liquidity. BitGo provides the operational backbone for thousands of institutional clients in multiple international jurisdictions. BitGo Prime, BitGo's prime brokerage service, will also support USD1—providing institutional clients with access to deep liquidity and trading, all from insured and regulated qualified custody.
“The launch of USD1 represents a significant advancement in institutional-ready digital assets,” said Mike Belshe, BitGo CEO. “Our clients demand both security and efficiency, and this partnership with WLFI delivers both – combining deep liquidity with the assurance that reserves are securely held and managed within regulated, qualified custody.”
Unlike alternatives that introduce additional risk factors, USD1 prioritizes stability through its conservative approach. By avoiding complex yield-generating mechanisms, USD1 offers the clarity and security required for broader institutional adoption.

New Milestone as Sweden Enshrines Policy That Can Turn World Smoke-Free25.3.2025 16:57:00 EET | Press release
Sweden has enshrined tobacco harm reduction in public health policy after becoming the first nation to prove it’s the most effective path to a smoke-free future. Thanks to Sweden’s stance on safer nicotine alternatives, just 4.5% of Swedish-born adults now smoke - below the 5% smoke-free threshold. This success has led Parliament to formally adopt harm reduction, reinforcing Sweden’s role as a global leader in public health innovation. Dr. Delon Human, leader of Smoke Free Sweden, says: “Swedes have participated in a long-running harm reduction experiment, providing undeniable proof that replacing smoking with smokeless nicotine dramatically reduces smoking-related disease, disability and premature deaths - a net gain for public health, while reducing expenditure. “With harm reduction now policy in Sweden, every public health decision will reflect this approach. Other countries should adopt Sweden’s model without further delay.” Rather than reducing tobacco use, Sweden now prioritises
