TREE NEWS reports: World Liberty Financial, backed by Trump, has received a conditional bank charter for its World Liberty Trust Company, which will take over issuance of the USD1 stablecoin from BitGo. This move marks a significant step in integrating stablecoin operations with traditional banking infrastructure, potentially expanding the reach of RWA-backed digital assets.
Trump-Linked World Liberty Gets Conditional Bank Charter for USD1 Stablecoin
A conditional charter is the more consequential detail here: it puts a stablecoin issuer inside the bank regulatory perimeter rather than alongside it, and shifting USD1 issuance from BitGo to an in-house trust concentrates control over reserves and redemption. That matters for the RWA narrative, where the credibility of tokenized assets rests on custody and oversight rather than the token itself. Whether the conditionality is cleared, and how the trust's reserve arrangements are disclosed, is the open question.
