World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto venture backed by members of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s family, is preparing to launch its first suite of real-world asset (RWA) products in January.

Co-founder Zach Witkoff revealed the timeline on Wednesday during a major industry gathering in Dubai, confirming that WLFI is ready to enter the fast-moving RWA market at full speed.

The announcement marks WLFI’s strongest signal yet that it intends to compete at the top level of the tokenization sector. With RWAs now one of the hottest narratives in crypto, WLFI is positioning itself to ride the wave from day one of the new year.

A Dubai Stage, a Global Audience

Witkoff’s statement came during a two-day event hosted by Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world and the centerpiece of the global digital-asset industry. The Dubai event featured senior Binance executives, global policymakers, and leaders from across the crypto ecosystem.

WLFI used the platform to make its most important announcement so far.

Witkoff told the audience that WLFI’s RWA lineup will go live at the beginning of Q1. He described tokenization as one of the company’s core business pillars and one of the three major “bombshell announcements” WLFI plans to unveil over the coming months.

The message landed clearly: WLFI wants to launch not quietly, but loudly, and with a global footprint from day one.

USD1 Already in Active Use, Including a Binance Investment Transaction

One of the biggest surprises of the event came when Witkoff confirmed that USD1, WLFI’s native stablecoin, has already been used in a real-world institutional transaction.

An Abu Dhabi-backed firm, MGX, utilized USD1 to pay for its investment in Binance earlier this year. The transaction served as an early, real use case for WLFI’s stablecoin before its full ecosystem launch.

WLFI highlighted the moment through its official channels, noting that an Abu Dhabi–supported investor using USD1 for a Binance transaction sends a strong signal about institutional readiness and trust.

For a stablecoin that has not yet seen a full public rollout, the early adoption is meaningful. It shows traction, credibility, and practical usability, three qualities that many new blockchain projects struggle to capture at launch.

RWA Products Take Center Stage

WLFI is entering the RWA market at a time when tokenized assets are accelerating faster than nearly any other sector in crypto. Global institutions are putting U.S. treasuries on-chain. Major banks are exploring tokenized settlement. Investors are turning to RWAs for yield stability and transparency.

WLFI wants to compete directly in that emerging market.

Witkoff emphasized that RWAs are not a side project for the company, they are central to WLFI’s strategy. The RWA suite launching in January is designed to be a foundational component of WLFI’s structure, connecting traditional financial assets with the blockchain environments the company is building.

The January launch positions WLFI at the start of what analysts expect to be one of the strongest years yet for tokenization.

Building a Full Financial Stack

The company is pursuing far more than RWAs. WLFI is constructing a full ecosystem around digital payments, user wallets, stablecoin utility, and Web3 financial tools.

Upcoming releases include:

• WLFI Wallet

A core product that will serve as the main interface for USD1, RWA products, and cross-platform payments.

• WLFI DEX

A decentralized exchange designed to support crypto trading, stablecoin liquidity, and eventually tokenized real-world assets.

• Global Payment System

A major initiative aimed at connecting users, merchants, and institutions through fast, borderless settlement.

• WLFI Credit Card

A payment tool designed to bring crypto activity into day-to-day spending.

• Collaborations with TikTok and Apple

WLFI has confirmed upcoming partnerships with both platforms, signaling integrations aimed at scaling user access and mainstream visibility.

Each of these components plays into WLFI’s broader strategy, to build an ecosystem where stablecoins, RWAs, consumer payments, and decentralized finance tools work together inside a single globally accessible framework.

Why January Matters

Launching in January gives WLFI strategic timing.

The RWA market is entering a phase of explosive growth. Tokenized treasury products are already pulling in billions. Regulatory clarity in major markets is improving. And global financial institutions are experimenting with blockchain-based settlement more openly than ever before.

By positioning its launch at the start of the first quarter, WLFI aims to capture early market demand and momentum.

Analysts expect RWA-related activity to surge across the first half of the year. WLFI’s entry into the field adds a new competitor with high-profile backing, early institutional traction, and a pipeline of products targeting both retail and institutional users.

A Trump-Linked Venture With Global Ambition

WLFI’s connection to the Trump family has drawn attention from both the crypto sector and traditional financial media. That association gives WLFI immediate visibility but also places the company under early scrutiny.

Yet during the Dubai event, Witkoff made one point clear: WLFI is building. The team is rolling out products, securing partnerships, and completing transactions long before its official public launch.

With a stablecoin already in use, an RWA suite coming in January, and a lineup of additional products on the horizon, WLFI is moving quickly and deliberately.

 The Road to Q1 Begins Now

With the January launch window confirmed, WLFI enters its most important phase yet. The company is preparing to deploy a full stack of financial tools that connect crypto infrastructure with real-world utility.

USD1 has already proven functional.

RWA products are weeks from going live.

Global payment systems, wallet tools, and major collaborations are lined up.

Now the countdown begins.

WLFI wants to make January a launchpad, not just for its products, but for a financial ecosystem built around tokenization, stablecoins, and digital payments. The coming quarter will show how quickly the company can execute on that promise.
