World Liberty expands its stablecoin footprint to various chains through Chainlink.

World Liberty Financial has announced that its USD1 stablecoin is now functional across several blockchain networks following its integration with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Initially, the integration supports Ethereum and BNB Chain, with plans to extend compatibility to additional blockchains in the near future.

The announcement came during Consensus 2025, where representatives from World Liberty Financial, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov, and Eric Trump, son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, unveiled the token’s new cross-chain capabilities.

USD1, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin launched by a decentralized finance protocol inspired by Trump, has grown substantially since its launch, reaching a market capitalization of $2 billion. The stablecoin notably played a key role in facilitating MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance.

Despite its growth, USD1 remains smaller than leading stablecoins like Tether and Circle’s USDC, which hold market caps of $151 billion and $60.6 billion, respectively.

The stablecoin is backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and fiat reserves secured by BitGo Trust. Until now, USD1 was largely confined to individual blockchain ecosystems. However, the CCIP integration enables seamless movement of USD1 across multiple blockchains.

Ethereum and BNB Chain mark the first blockchains to benefit from this upgrade. The firms emphasized that this integration addresses a major challenge in the stablecoin sector: ensuring security in cross-chain transactions.

Cross-chain bridge vulnerabilities have historically led to losses nearing $3 billion, underlining the importance of secure interoperability solutions.

“Chainlink’s proven infrastructure offers the institutional-grade security and broad reach necessary to deliver USD1 to millions across an expanding number of active blockchain networks,” said Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial.

Zak Folkman, also co-founder of World Liberty Financial, added, “Chainlink plays a crucial role in uniting traditional finance with decentralized finance—our mission from day one. We envision a future where DeFi and TradFi merge seamlessly, and thanks to CCIP, USD1 is now bridgeable across chains, enabling this vision.”

This collaboration builds on an earlier partnership in which Chainlink’s price oracles supported World Liberty’s deployment of an Aave v3 instance, highlighting the deepening synergy between the two organizations.
