The USD1 stablecoin, issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), will debut on the Aptos blockchain on October 6, 2025, following a partnership announced by Donald Trump Jr. and WLFI CEO Zach Witkoff during a live event. This marks USD1's first integration into a Move-based blockchain, highlighting Aptos' technical advantages in efficiency and scalability.
Since its launch in March 2025, USD1 has grown to a market cap of approximately $2.68 billion, with the majority of its supply (79.3%) deployed on BNB Chain, while Tron, Ethereum, and Solana host smaller portions. On Aptos, USD1 will benefit from ultra-low transaction costs averaging $0.00055 per transfer and near-instant settlement times.
The rollout includes immediate support from a wide range of ecosystem partners, including decentralized finance protocols like Echelon Market, Hyperion, Thala Labs, Panora Exchange, and Tapp Exchange. Wallet providers such as Petra Wallet, Bitget Wallet, Backpack, OneKey, and Nightly, along with exchanges like OKX and Gate, will enable accessibility from day one.
Aptos, which originated from Meta's Libra initiative, already hosts stablecoins like USDT, USDC, USDe, and PYUSD, with a monthly volume of $60 billion but only a 0.35% share of the total stablecoin market. This integration strengthens Aptos' position in institutional-grade finance, backed by contributors like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Additionally, WLFI plans to launch a debit card with Apple Pay integration, further expanding real-world use cases for USD1.
