The Trump-backed stablecoin's native deployment on the institutional settlement network completes the plumbing Tradeweb and Virtu just proved works — but Binance concentration and political baggage complicate the picture.
- World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has launched its USD1 stablecoin natively on the Canton Network, aiming to solve the 'cash leg' problem in tokenized finance.
- The USD1 stablecoin, issued by BitGo Bank & Trust, N.A., brings $4.05 billion in market cap to Canton, enabling atomic settlement for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
- Despite technical advancements, the stablecoin faces challenges due to concentration risk with Binance and political baggage associated with its 'Trump-backed' venture.
