The USD1 stablecoin is expanding its reach, and this time it is coming to the Aptos network. Trump‑linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) aims to expand the stablecoin’s reach by making it available on top blockchain networks.
Aptos confirmed that USD1 was about to make its debut on the network in a recent post. The announcement marked another major milestone for the network, which has been pushing for more adoption.
The USD1 launch on Aptos was an exciting milestone for the Aptos network. This is because of the stablecoin’s rising appeal, especially among the institutional class of investors.
The stablecoin’s launch on Aptos, therefore, represents an opportunity for the network to capitalize on institutional activity.
It also validated the network as one of the top blockchain(s), especially now that the market is leaning towards mass adoption and institutional integration.
News of USD1’s upcoming launch on the Aptos network also followed a previous WLFI’s recent announcement about real‑world assets tokenization.
According to the announcement, WLFI’s RWAs initiative will be linked to USD1, and Aptos will thus play an important role in those efforts.
Why World Liberty Financial Chose Aptos Network
Aptos took the opportunity to remind the world that it was already working towards becoming a RWAs powerhouse.
More than $720 million worth of RWAs have already launched on the network, and it already boasts of more than $1 billion worth of stablecoins.
The addition of USD1 into the Aptos ecosystem could strengthen the network’s RWAs strategy and boost its liquidity.
The network also highlighted low latency and low transaction fees among the reasons why it was selected for USD1 expansion.
The announcement also underscored the stablecoin’s push into the broader DeFi segment. USD1 was already a multi‑chain stablecoin.
It has so far been launched on BNB chain, Solana, Tron, Ethereum, and the Plume network. Aptos is set to be the next blockchain network on the list as of 6 October.
Preliminary reports revealed that WLFI has plans to roll out a debit card that will allow regular purchases.
Moreover, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) reportedly plans to tokenize asset classes such as gas, oil, and real estate.
These are some of the highly transacted asset classes, and this could put USD1 on track to leverage high transaction volumes.
APT Price Pulls off 6 Consecutive Days in the Green
Aptos’ native coin APT exchanged hands at $4.5 at press time after rallying by 17 % from its lowest price last week. The cryptocurrency has been printing green candles for the last 6 consecutive days.
The APT price recovery kicked off after it retested a key support level just below $4. This was the third time that it retested the same support level so far in 2025.
The same support also acted as the cryptocurrency’s lowest price range in the last 12 months. A cloud of uncertainty hovered over whether APT would extend the latest uptrend.
This is because the cryptocurrency was slated to experience another token unlock event on 12 October.
Roughly 10 to 12 million APT coins will be added to the circulating supply at the upcoming token unlock event. This represents 1 % to $1.2 % of the cryptocurrency’s current circulating supply.
Past unlock events have historically suppressed APT price action and the same was expected this month. This means its latest rally attempt might end up being limited.
