World Liberty Financial announced that US$ stabilization currency USD1 had been originally released in Canton Network. This means that the token no longer relies on cross-link access to the network and can be used directly for inter-agency transactions of tokenized assets to synchronize with United States dollar payments.
Native distribution reduced cross-chain
According to the company, the USD1 can now cast and settle directly on Canton instead of being released on other chains before entering the bridge. When dealing in monetized assets, the agency can complete the delivery of assets in the same step as cash payments, reducing the risk to the counterparty and the use of funds in a step-by-step liquidation.
World Liberty Financial also stated that USD1 could be used for derivative mortgages, institutional loans, asset issuance, foreclosure, financing arrangements and cross-border payments. USD1 has been identified as the corresponding United States dollar payment tool for situations such as monetization of national debt, repurchase transactions and financial management.
USD1 market value increased to $4.05 billion
According to the company, USD1 maintains the United States Government Monetary Market Fund, United States dollar deposits and other cash equivalents as reserves, supports the payment of the United States dollar by 1:1 and discloses the reserve documents on a monthly basis. According to DeFiLlama, the current market value of the USD1 is approximately $4.05 billion, which is sixth in the dollar-stable currency.
This is a significant increase over December 2025. At that time, World Liberty Financial and Canton first disclosed the deployment plan, and the USD1 market value was slightly higher than $2 billion. It was reported that in May 2025, the Abu Dhabi-backed investment agency MGX had used USD1 to complete a $2 billion investment settlement for Binance.
OCC is still awaiting final approval.
At the regulatory level, the expansion of World Liberty Financial remains dependent on subsequent approval by the United States Monetary Supervisory Authority (OCC). On 14 August, OCC granted World Liberty Trust Company a conditional licence to advance the preparation of the National Trust Bank, which does not mean that it can be officially opened.
Pending the final delegation of authority, the company would still have to meet the pre-establishment conditions of at least $20 million in qualified capital and a qualified head of internal audit. If finally approved, World Liberty Trust plans to take over the USD1 distribution, foreclosure and reserve management operations currently performed by BitGo Bank & Trust and to provide digital asset hosting and currency stabilization services to institutional clients.
Washington's focus on linkages
The approval was also of interest in Washington, D.C., as the Toran extended its interest in the World Liberty parent company. Democrats believe that the current President ' s Associated Enterprises application for a bank licence under the supervision of the current Government could raise issues of conflict of interest.
World Liberty responded that the company was taking the initiative to be regulated. OCC indicated that the examination of the application was the responsibility of the professional officer. Also, the CEO of the company, Zach Witkoff, disclosed in an interview with CNBC that USD1 had traded approximately $1.7 billion over the past 24 hours. According to Canton, the network handles or issues monetized assets of more than $9 trillion a month, with a chained United States Treasury debt-day transaction of more than $350 billion.
