Trump-Linked WLFI Expands USD1 on Solana With Major Mint
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has launched its USD1 stablecoin on the Solana blockchain, marking a major expansion of the project. After it was launched, an enormous minting activity produced 100 million USD1 tokens on the network, according to Lookonchain.

Such a decision demonstrated the intention of WLFI to employ fast and high-performance chains to mint its stablecoin. An announcement teasing the USD1 launch on Solana was celebrated by Solana co-founder of Solana, Anatoly Yakovenko, indicating his firm support for the project.
WLFI said the launch marked the project’s aim of bringing together internet capital markets and stablecoins. The link to President Donald Trump gives the stablecoin broader visibility beyond crypto-native communities. The exchange appeal is already visible, with Coinbase confirming plans to list USD1.
The 100 million mint confirmed WLFI’s immediate commitment to Solana. On-chain data showed the transaction as one of the largest stablecoin mints on the network this year. The launch introduced a high liquidity pool which can now be used by traders on Solana to lend, trade and settle. This mint emphasized the rise in popularity of Solana among key stablecoins issuers.
By launching USD1 on Solana, WLFI has positioned itself to compete with incumbents and benefit from the high speed and lower transaction fees on Solana.
