Trump Family’s World Liberty Financial has unveiled big real-world asset (RWA) tokenization plans on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the matter. The firm also aims to pair tokenized assets with its USD1 stablecoin to bridge DeFi and traditional markets.
World Liberty Financial Unveils Big RWA Tokenization Plans
During the Web3 event Token2049 on October 1, World Liberty Financial made multiple key announcements regarding their plan to bridge the crypto industry with traditional finance (TradFi). One of the primary goals included the tokenization of real-world assets.
The real-world assets include commodities such as oil, gas, cotton, and timber. The project aims to pair tokenized assets with its USD1 stablecoin.
“Commodities are (a) really interesting area for us, whether it be oil, gas, even things like cotton, timber – all of those things frankly should be traded on chain. It’s a lot more efficient,” said CEO Zach Witkoff.
Tokenization Boost in the United States by the US SEC
RWA tokenization space is witnessing a major push in the United States, with regulators and institutions working to bring traditional financial instruments such as stocks and bonds on-chain.
Earlier this week, US SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce declared support for innovative and novel projects such as decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) and RWA tokenization.
“We are willing to work with people who want to tokenize, we urge them to come talk to us,” said Hester Peirce. Top RWA crypto projects would reap benefits from the latest SEC’s stance on fostering tokenization and regulated tokenized securities offerings.
As CoinGape reported, the SEC is drafting a plan to allow stocks trade on blockchain networks. The agency plans to let crypto tokens represent shares, possibly enabling 24/7 trading of these assets. This comes as many firms such as Nasdaq filed with the SEC to allow trading of tokenized stocks.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Partners Aptos
World Liberty Financial co-founders Donald Trump Jr. and Witkoff also announced expanding the USD1 stablecoin’s support to Aptos. This is the first Move-based integration by WLFI.
Aptos revealed that the USD1 stablecoin will have support from across the Aptos ecosystem on October 6, including Aptos DeFi protocols.

Also, Witkoff confirmed a pilot program this quarter and expected launch of a debit card in either Q4 2025 or Q1 2026. The debit card will link crypto assets to everyday spending. Last week, co-founder Zak Folkman confirmed plans for the launch of its debit card and retail app.
WLFI token price has sharply climbed by almost 2%, currently trading at $0.2023. The 24-hour low and high are $0.1927 and $0.2024, respectively. Trading volume dropped by 29% in the last 24 hours, indicating a decline in interest among traders.
