A decentralized finance project with ties to the family of US President Donald Trump has approved a governance initiative to accelerate the adoption of USD1, a stablecoin pegged to the dollar.
According to World Liberty Financial’s official announcement on X, the project’s community passed the proposal by 77.75% on Sunday.
As a cryptopolitan reported In mid-December, the proposal recommends that no less than 5% of unlocked WLFI holdings be allocated to incentivize centralized and decentralized financial platforms to list or promote USD1.

According to the advisory proposal published on the project’s forum, WLFI is making a coordinated attempt to use its financial resources to directly impact the growth of the USD1 ecosystem. Although not binding in nature, the vote creates more rules for how future Treasury Department decisions will be handled.
“WLFI acts at the behest of the community. This is your ecosystem and your calling. Today’s vote will prove that the governance here will foster growth,” the project’s team said in a post to X after the vote closed.
Governance documents further strengthen transparency practices and state that all token deployments will be made public. WLFI added that details of the partnership and incentive structure will be shared through the website and written project communications.
USD1 is the first flagship product within the World Liberty Financial ecosystem, and the total amount locked has grown to nearly $3 billion, according to project data tracked since its debut six months ago. World Liberty Financial believes it can maintain this momentum through targeted incentives that will help it compete with other stablecoin markets.
WLFI token starts in 2026 with a 20% weekly price uptrend
WLFI’s governance vote comes on the heels of a rise in the token’s price, which has fallen by 0.62% to $0.173 in the past 24 hours, but is up 20% in the past seven days.
The coin rose 11% over the weekend after news of US military action in Venezuela spread, before holders booked profits near the key resistance zone between $0.172 and $0.182.
In his first interview after the airstrike and in a televised address to the nation, President Trump said the United States would take control of Venezuela’s oil industry. He added that Venezuela holds more than 300 billion barrels of oil, assets worth more than $17 trillion at current market prices.
The president also noted that he did not notify Congress of the military action in advance, arguing that had he been notified in advance, information could have been leaked that could have jeopardized the operation.
WLFI struggled to break above the 50-period and 100-period exponential moving averages throughout December. But on New Year’s Eve, WLFI finally broke out of the $0.15 to $0.155 range and broke through the 20, 50, 100, and 200 EMAs one after another.
The 200 EMA near $0.147 has since turned higher and is now below the current price. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI rose into the low 60s and briefly touched the low 70s during the breakout, but this is a sign of early consolidation rather than a top of depletion.

The governance vote also comes as Trump-linked companies add more digital asset products. According to reports statement Plans are underway to issue a new virtual currency to shareholders of Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates the Truth Social platform.
The company said the tokens will be distributed on a 1:1 basis, with investors receiving one digital token for each share held. The company’s largest shareholder, US President Donald Trump, has so far made good on his promise to increase Western support for the crypto economy and business.
Trump Media said the effort is part of its strategy to engage shareholders through blockchain-based products. The token will be distributed through a partnership with the Crypto.com exchange and is expected to run on the Cronos blockchain.
The company’s CEO Devin Nunes told reporters that the new token would be a “first-of-its-kind distribution” to “reward Trump Media shareholders and promote fair and transparent markets.”
