Record-Breaking World Liberty Financial USD1 Stablecoin Unlocks Cross-Chain Capabilities With Chainlink
The fastest-growing digital dollar-backed stablecoin to be supercharged with seamless, cross-chain mobility between Ethereum, BNB Chain, and other blockchain networks via Chainlink CCIP
TORONTO, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- World Liberty Financial, the DeFi protocol and governance platform inspired by President Donald J. Trump, and Chainlink, the standard for onchain finance, announced a landmark collaboration to accelerate the adoption of the world's fastest-growing stablecoin, USD1. As part of this collaboration, World Liberty Financial plans to integrate Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to expand access to the institutional-grade stablecoin by enabling secure transfers of USD1 across leading blockchain networks that would otherwise act as silos of value.
Backed by short-term U.S. government treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents, the USD1 stablecoin has skyrocketed in record time to eclipse $2 billion in market capitalization. Chainlink supercharges USD1 with the ability to move seamlessly between Ethereum and BNB Chain networks, with an ambitious roadmap for additional blockchain integrations down the road.
"From the largest enterprises to consumer applications, we have seen extraordinary, worldwide demand for a trustworthy and purely digital US dollar stablecoin. USD1 is setting records because it was designed expressly for this purpose," said Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial. "Chainlink's battle-tested infrastructure delivers the institutional-grade security and extensive reach needed to deliver USD1 into the hands of millions across a growing number of active, onchain ecosystems. WLFI's partnership with Chainlink will accelerate and improve USD1's utility for cross-border payments and will result in truly useful applications across DeFi and traditional finance. We're creating a comprehensive platform for a dramatically improved financial future by building atop a rock-solid foundation."
The WLFI/Chainlink integration for USD1 tackles critical security challenges that have plagued cross-chain solutions in years past, with approximately $2.8 billion lost in previous exploits at the intersections between blockchains. Having successfully safeguarded $75 billion in DeFi total value locked at its peak and having powered $20 trillion in transaction value, Chainlink's solution meets the rigorous security requirements for an institutional-grade stablecoin like USD1.
"I'm very excited about the great work that WLFI has done on USD1, and we are thrilled about them selecting Chainlink CCIP as their chosen cross-chain solution for USD1," said Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink. "World Liberty Financial is doing important work to bring DeFi to both everyday users and major institutions. We've worked with WLFI from the very beginning, and it's exciting to see that collaboration now live, bringing real utility to users around the world. The Chainlink standard — trusted by leading banks, governments, and financial market infrastructures — is a foundational part of this shift towards Web3, powering a more open, secure, and interconnected global economy."
The integration of Chainlink CCIP to enable cross-chain transfers of USD1 builds upon a previous collaboration, where Chainlink's Data Feeds were utilized in World Liberty Financial's Aave v3 instance.
Starting today, DeFi users can begin transferring USD1 cross-chain through simple web interfaces such as https://transporter.io and with any bridge integrated with Chainlink CCIP.

Circle Eyes $7.2B Valuation in Upsized U.S. IPO Amid Strong Investor Demand
Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, is aiming for a fully diluted valuation of up to $7.2 billion in its upcoming initial public offering, according to a Monday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company now plans to offer up to 32 million shares priced between $27 and $28 each, up from 24 million shares at $24 to $26 when it first filed in May. The move suggests investor interest in Circle's business is growing, and possibly heating up faster than expected. That interest appears to be coming from some of the world's most influential investors. In May, it was reported that BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, is considering purchasing up to 10% of Circle's IPO shares, according to people familiar with the matter. Ark Invest, the investment firm led by Cathie Wood, has also signaled intent to buy $150 million worth of stock. Circle's IPO comes as stablecoins are having a moment in the broader crypto market. Once considered niche instruments mostly used for crypto trading, they are now widely integrated into decentralized finance (DeFi), remittances and even traditional finance rails. The total market cap of all stablecoins now stands at $248 billion, with Tether's USDT making up 62% of the market at $154 billion, followed by Circle's USDC at $60 billion, according to DeFiLlama.
