World Liberty Financial, associated with the Trump family, is moving the USD1 stabilization currency away from encrypted original circulation to closer to the infrastructure acceptable to traditional financial institutions. Citing Tanaka, Coimpaper states that the entity concerned had submitted an application to the United States Monetary Supervisory Authority (OCC) for the establishment of a federal trust called World Liberty Trust Company.
Overrided multi-chain and trade scenes
According to the report, the USD1 is currently circulating on 6 block chains, with a supply of about $4.6 billion. The access scenes include Binance, Gate, Byreal, Tempo, and UFC awards and the final settlement of the Bitcoin contract.
However, according to the article, coverage per se is not sufficient to motivate large institutions. More crucial for institutions is who issues the stabilization currency, where reserves are placed and who regulates the entire structure.
Application for issuance and reserve management
According to reports, this application was submitted by WLTC Holdings on 7 January 2026. If the application is approved, the proposed trust will be responsible for the issuance and redemption of the USD1 while managing the reserve assets, hosting arrangements and the settlement process.
This means that the core operations of the USD1 will be placed in the regulatory framework of the Federal Trust Bank and will no longer rely solely on the distribution and use of scenes on encrypted platforms. For institutional users, such arrangements usually help to shorten the process of tuning and make it easier to assess counterparty risks.
Approval pending
At the same time, it was stressed that the results of the review had not yet been formally confirmed. Tanaka states that the judgement at this stage is based primarily on anonymous information about former OCC former employees, and that a more accurate expression should therefore be “near approval” or “high probability of approval” rather than having approved it.
According to the article, the current focus of the WLFI push is not just on online or user growth activities, but rather on the most important conditions of compliance and governance before the institution enters. USD1 may have easier access to the agency ' s payment, settlement and fund management processes if the Federal Trust Bank ' s qualifications are finally approved.
