Upon launching last November, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the DeFi protocol and governance platform backed by President Donald J. Trump, announced it would adopt Chainlink’s industry-leading decentralized oracle services for onchain price data and cross-chain interoperability, beginning with the integration of Chainlink Data Feeds for WLFI’s Aave v3 instance.
Today at Consensus 2025, during a panel moderated by Input Output’s Charles Hoskinson featuring WLFI’s Zak Folkman and Zach Witkoff, American Bitcoin’s Eric Trump, and Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov, WLFI announced it integrated Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to expand access to its institutional-grade stablecoin, USD1, across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and other leading blockchain networks.
USD1 is 100% backed by short-term U.S. government treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents custodied by BitGo Trust Company, a qualified custodian regulated by the South Dakota Division of Banking. Two months after launching in early March, USD1 is the fastest-growing stablecoin in the world with a $2.2 billion market cap.
CCIP is the industry standard for digital asset and data transfer leveraged by 47 blockchains and a growing number of traditional financial institutions to unlock new use cases and markets for tokenized assets including stablecoins. Leveraging Chainlink’s resilient oracle infrastructure, which has enabled over $20 trillion in transaction value, CCIP achieves the highest level of cross-chain security reinforced by an independent Risk Management Network.
“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,” said WLFI co-founder, Zach Witkoff, in an official announcement.
“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’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,” added Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov.
“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.”
DeFi users can now transfer USD1 cross-chain via simple web interfaces such as https://transporter.io and any bridge integrated with Chainlink CCIP.
