World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s decentralized finance (DeFi) project, minted more than $200 million in USD1 stablecoins on August 20.
This move comes shortly after Fed Governor Christopher Waller praised stablecoins.
World Liberty announced on X that it minted $205 million worth of its stablecoin, USD1, for treasury purposes.
As a result, the total supply for the stablecoin has reached a record $2.4 billion. This marks the token’s first major increase since late April.

Launched in early April, the Trump family-backed stablecoin has quickly become the world’s sixth-largest by market capitalization.
Tether currently leads the market with its USDT stablecoin, holding a 60% market share and a $167 billion market cap. Nasdaq-listed Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, ranks second with a 24% market share.
Earlier this month, the Trump family DeFi project declared that it is working on a new loyalty program for the USD1 stablecoin holders.
According to data from blockchain analytics platform Nansen, the latest USD1 mint has pushed World Liberty Financial’s treasury holdings to a record $548 million.

Earlier this month, reports indicated that World Liberty Financial is considering creating a publicly traded company to hold its WLFI tokens.
As a result, the company is planning a $1.5 billion fundraising for the same. Market analysts believe that the WLFI token could be among the top ten digital assets upon launch.
The USD1 mint occurred just hours after Federal Reserve Governor Waller delivered a pro-crypto speech highlighting the role of stablecoins. During a blockchain conference in Wyoming on August 20, Waller said:
“I believe that stablecoins have the potential to maintain and extend the role of the dollar internationally. Stablecoins also have the potential to improve retail and cross-border payments.”
Waller stated that the GENIUS Act, signed into law last month, represents “an important step for the payment stablecoin market” and could enable stablecoins to realize their full potential.
