On Oct. 1, Donald Trump Jr. and World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff announced that the USD1 stablecoin will be launching on the Aptos network on October 6. The launch will mark the first time that WLFI’s stablecoin will be hosted on a Move-based blockchain.
“The list grows of those choosing the fastest, cheapest, & most efficient rails in the world,” wrote Aptos ( APT ) in its latest post
Based on information from the official post, multiple wallets and exchanges will provide support for the launch on the Aptos ecosystem, including Petra Wallet, Bitget Wallet, OKX, Gate group and many more.
The stablecoin will be available for trading once it completes integration into Aptos on October 6. The integration will include Aptos DeFi protocols on-chain, such as Echelon Market, Hyperion, Thala Labs, Panora Exchange and Tapp Exchange.
The Aptos network becomes the latest crypto project to support WLFI’s stablecoin integration; other projects in the past have included Justin Sun’s Tron ( TRX ), Ethereum ( ETH ), Solana ( SOL ), Plume Network as well as BNB Chain ( BNB ).
