World Liberty Financial has launched its USD1 stablecoin natively on the Canton Network, establishing an institutional dollar settlement layer for tokenized real-world assets. By deploying directly on the network rather than utilizing bridged tokens, USD1 can settle simultaneously alongside tokenized securities, derivatives collateral, and institutional loans while leveraging Canton’s built-in privacy and permissioning controls.
With a market capitalization of approximately $4.05 billion, USD1 ranks as the sixth-largest stablecoin globally, according to DeFiLlama data. First launched in March 2025 by the Trump family-backed crypto project, the asset is issued by BitGo Bank & Trust, which manages reserve backing comprising short-term US Treasurys, government money market funds, and cash deposits.
The Canton Network, designed specifically for regulated financial institutions, currently processes over $9 trillion in monthly tokenized asset transactions and clears more than $350 billion in daily onchain US Treasurys. Native issuance enables synchronized asset-and-cash transfers, eliminating settlement lag for institutional lending, asset redemptions, and cross-border payments.
This deployment follows broader institutional momentum for both entities, including an upcoming 2027 Canton-based pilot with the American Idea Foundation to distribute state-administered public benefits, alongside World Liberty Trust Company’s pending application for full Office of the Comptroller of the Currency authorization to assume native issuance and custody of USD1.
