World Liberty Deploys USD1 Stablecoin on Canton Network

The deployment enables institutions to utilize USD1 for collateralized lending, cross-border payments, and the settlement of real-world assets. According to World Liberty, the native issuance mitigates counterparty risk by ensuring that cash and asset transfers occur simultaneously. The Canton infrastructure enforces privacy and permissioning protocols, allowing firms to maintain compliance while participating in regulated financial markets.

DeFiLlama currently ranks USD1 as the sixth-largest stablecoin by market capitalization. While BitGo Bank & Trust manages the reserves and issuance, World Liberty is seeking to bring these operations in-house. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted conditional charter approval for the World Liberty Trust Company in August 2025; however, the institution must still satisfy specific capital requirements and internal audit standards before receiving final authorization to operate as a national trust bank.
