Decentralized finance company World Liberty Financial (WLFI), backed by the Trump family, is launching USD1, a stablecoin redeemable 1:1 for the U.S. dollar.
USD1 is backed by short-term U.S. government treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents.
The stablecoin aims to provide access to the power of DeFi while maintaining credibility and safeguards of traditional finance.
USD1 reserves will be held in custody by BitGo, and the coins will be minted on the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain blockchains.
