Summary:
This advisory proposal recommends World Liberty Financial begin to actively utilize a limited allocation of its unlocked treasury to support the growth of USD1. This will allow World Liberty Financial to enhance strategic partnerships and support the adoption and usage of USD1.
Motivation:
USD1 is among the world’s fastest growing stablecoins, hitting ~$3b in TVL in 6 months. This milestone has been achieved due to an upswell of community support across core stablecoin onchain use cases such as trading and a number of large partnerships. The team continues to arduously work to grow adoption and usage of USD1, working toward the core vision of democratizing finance and access to the dollar globally.
In order to support development and usage of USD1 in an increasingly competitive stablecoin landscape, World Liberty Financial intends to utilize a small percentage of unlocked $WLFI tokens to support USD1 use cases across select high profile CeFi & DeFi partnerships.
Specification:
World Liberty Financial plans to clearly identify all partners where $WLFI incentives are deployed on its website and in written online communications.
Impact:
USD1 is the first flagship product of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem. $WLFI remains the governance and coordination layer that unifies every current and future product we launch. The success of USD1 directly strengthens WLFI because USD1 adoption expands the overall footprint, utility, and economic activity of the entire WLFI ecosystem.
As USD1 grows, more users, platforms, institutions, and chains integrate with World Liberty Financial infrastructure. This increases the scale and influence of the network governed by WLFI holders. In practice, this means:
More USD1 in circulation leads to more demand for WLFI-governed services, integrations, liquidity incentives, and ecosystem programs.
WLFI token holders gain governance power over a larger, more valuable network, including decisions around incentives, product expansion, and cross-chain strategy.
Increased USD1 adoption creates more opportunities for value capture across the WLFI ecosystem, which accrues to the benefit of WLFI-governed initiatives and long-term token utility.
In short: the growth of USD1 amplifies the reach, relevance, and economic strength of the WLFI ecosystem, increasing the strategic importance and influence of WLFI token holders across all products and future expansions.
