On January 7, World Liberty Financial’s ecosystem project Liberty (@liberty_bsc) announced that its $LIBERTY token has ramped up its presence in the real-world asset (RWA) sector. The initiative expands USD1-linked on-chain processes to cover multiple asset classes—including stocks, funds, bonds, and commodities—with USD1 serving as the core pricing and settlement unit. Against a backdrop of maturing infrastructure, Liberty is doubling down on how users and capital interact in USD1-powered RWA ecosystems. To that end, the project will launch a USD1 Trading Competition, backed by the WLFI Foundation, to observe liquidity formation, trading incentives, and market participation patterns in a real-world market setting. Liberty noted the event is not just a market engagement but also a real-world test of USD1’s coordination capabilities and settlement efficiency in RWA scenarios. Additional details will be released as market developments unfold.
