World Liberty Financial has announced that its USD1 stablecoin is now operable across multiple blockchain networks thanks to an integration with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The initial rollout includes Ethereum and BNB Chain, with plans for additional blockchain support to follow.
The integration was unveiled at Consensus 2025 by World Liberty Financial’s leadership team alongside Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov and Eric Trump, son of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
USD1, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin developed by a decentralized finance protocol inspired by Trump, has rapidly expanded to a $2 billion market capitalization. It was instrumental in facilitating MGX’s $2 billion Binance investment.
While USD1 trails major stablecoins like Tether and Circle’s USDC, which have market caps of $151 billion and $60.6 billion respectively, it is backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and fiat reserves held securely by BitGo Trust.
Previously limited to single blockchain ecosystems, USD1 can now seamlessly move across chains through CCIP, addressing a critical challenge in stablecoin usability: secure cross-chain transfers. Given that nearly $3 billion has been lost to cross-chain bridge exploits historically, this integration marks a major security advancement.
Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, emphasized, “Chainlink’s robust and secure infrastructure enables USD1 to reach millions of users across diverse blockchain networks.”
Co-founder Zak Folkman highlighted the strategic vision: “Bridging traditional and decentralized finance is our core mission. With Chainlink’s CCIP, USD1 is now fully bridgeable, accelerating the convergence of these financial worlds.”
This development builds on the existing partnership where Chainlink’s price oracles support World Liberty’s Aave v3 deployment, further strengthening their collaboration.
