World Liberty proposes using 5% of treasury to boost its stablecoin

Resumen

World Liberty Financial, backed by the Trump family, has proposed allocating 5% of its WLFI token treasury—worth approximately $120 million—to expand the supply of its USD1 stablecoin. The goal is to increase adoption and competitiveness in the stablecoin market by forming new CeFi and DeFi partnerships. The team argues that a larger USD1 circulation would drive demand for WLFI-governed services and strengthen the ecosystem. The proposal is currently under community vote, with initial responses showing slight opposition. USD1, launched in March, is the seventh-largest USD-pegged stablecoin with a $2.74 billion market cap, but still trails significantly behind competitors like PayPal’s PYUSD.

Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial has proposed using 5% of the project’s WLFI token treasury to grow the supply of its stablecoin USD1.

The proposal was posted to the World Liberty Financial governance forum on Wednesday, with the team highlighting the importance of increasing USD1 supply to keep up with “an increasingly competitive stablecoin landscape.”

The proposal outlines that the additional supply would help spread “USD1 use cases across select high-profile CeFi & DeFi partnerships,” with increased adoption helping to create more “value capture” opportunities in the WLFI ecosystem.

“As USD1 grows, more users, platforms, institutions, and chains integrate with World Liberty Financial infrastructure. This increases the scale and influence of the network governed by WLFI holders,” the team said.

“More USD1 in circulation leads to more demand for WLFI-governed services, integrations, liquidity incentives, and ecosystem programs,” it added.

World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token started trading on exchanges in September. Leading up to the launch, the project indicated that 19.96 billion of the total WLFI supply would be allocated to the treasury. At current prices, that total sum is worth almost $2.4 billion, with a 5% unlock equating to around $120 million.

The team outlined three potential voting options in the proposal: for, against or abstain. The vote is now live, but it is not explicitly clear how the voting is taking place.

The reaction to the proposal is currently mixed, with “against” slightly edging out those who indicate they support the proposal.

The project’s stablecoin launched in March and has a market cap of $2.74 billion according to CoinGecko data, making it the seventh-largest USD-pegged stablecoin on the market.

The 5% treasury unlock may help spur growth of the asset; however, it has a lot of catching up to do if it wants to displace competitors, with sixth-placed PYUSD from PayPal having a market cap $1.1 billion larger than USD1.

Claude Code Introduces Dynamic Workflows: Enabling AI to Form Teams and Collaborate

Claude Code introduces dynamic workflows, enabling AI to coordinate teams of specialized agents for complex tasks. This transforms Claude from a code assistant into a programmable workbench. Workflows address key limitations of single-agent systems: agentic laziness (premature task completion), self-preferential bias (favoring own outputs), and goal drift (losing sight of original objectives). The system allows Claude to dynamically create execution frameworks using JavaScript. It can split tasks, dispatch parallel agents for isolated work (e.g., in separate worktrees), implement adversarial validation, run tournaments, and synthesize results. This multi-agent approach is valuable for tasks requiring deep research, factual verification, code migration, root cause analysis, large-scale triage, and qualitative sorting. Key patterns include: classify-and-route, fan-out-and-synthesize, adversarial verification, generate-and-filter, tournaments, and loop-until-done. While token usage is higher, workflows excel where tasks resemble programming—needing problem decomposition, isolated context, hypothesis testing, and handling many details. They extend Claude Code's utility beyond technical work to areas like business plan review, resume screening, and naming brainstorm. The feature is not a universal solution but points to a future where AI tool competitiveness depends on organizing reliable, reusable, and auditable execution flows for complex goals.

Hyperliquid, Wall Street's 24/7 Trading Convenience Store

Hyperliquid: The 24/7 Trading "Convenience Store" for Wall Street Hyperliquid, a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange, has become a go-to platform for Wall Street traders seeking to trade around the clock, especially during traditional market closures. Founded by Jeff Yan, a former quantitative trader, after the FTX collapse, the platform emphasizes user self-custody of assets. It offers a wide range of perpetual contracts—leveraged derivatives with no expiry—on assets from Bitcoin and crude oil to the S&P 500 and even pre-IPO companies like SpaceX. A notable example involves a hedge fund trader who capitalized on geopolitical news over a weekend, securing a 243% return on oil derivatives before markets reopened. The platform, run by just 11 employees, generated approximately $800 million in revenue last year, and its native token HYPE has seen significant growth. Its rise highlights the merging of traditional finance and crypto. While U.S. users are currently restricted, recent CFTC rule changes could open access. The platform is known for its transparency, having processed $10 billion in liquidations during a market crash while competitors faltered. Regulators warn of the high risks and complexity of perpetual contracts for retail investors. Key to its appeal is a strong community culture, direct engagement with founders, and a simple interface. Despite rules against VPN use, it attracts global users with its permissionless approach. Hyperliquid plans to expand into prediction markets and options, aiming to eventually host all financial activity.

Strategy Sells 32 Bitcoins: A True Turn of Direction?

Strategy, a public company known for its massive Bitcoin holdings, recently disclosed selling 32 BTC for approximately $2.5 million to cover obligations for its Series C Preferred Stock (STRC). This marked the first time the company reported a net decrease in Bitcoin in a standalone 8-K filing, initially causing market concern and a brief dip in BTC price below $72,000. However, analysts argue this sale is a strategic capital structure maneuver, not a loss of faith in Bitcoin. The sold amount represents a negligible 0.004% of Strategy's total holdings of 843,706 BTC. The primary intent is seen as a signal to credit rating agencies and analysts: Strategy is willing and able to monetize a tiny portion of its Bitcoin reserve to uphold its commitments to priority financing instruments like the STRC. This action follows S&P Global's earlier warnings about potential "debt wall" risks from Strategy's convertible notes. By proactively managing liabilities and demonstrating commitment to its preferred stock, Strategy aims to strengthen the credit quality of its financing tools. This, in turn, is designed to facilitate future fundraising, ultimately allowing the company to accumulate more Bitcoin. As founder Michael Saylor suggested, the strategy is to potentially "sell one Bitcoin to buy back 10 or 20 more."

Who Funds the Agents?

**Summary: Who Funds AI Agents?** OpenAI recently shut down a feature allowing AI agents to shop for users, highlighting the challenge of creating a secure and regulated environment for agent-driven transactions. While payment infrastructure exists, a crucial governance layer—defining spending limits, fraud detection, tax handling, and return policies—is largely missing. The potential is enormous: AI agents already processed $73M across 176M transactions last year, with McKinsey forecasting this could grow to $3-5T in global consumer commerce by 2030. The core competition isn't just about processing payments, which can be very cheap (especially with crypto-based settlement), but about controlling the rules that govern agent spending. Key players like Stripe and Coinbase are racing to dominate this governance layer. Stripe's acquisition of wallet provider Privy allows it to set spending policies, identity checks, and human-in-the-loop approvals directly at the wallet level. Similarly, Coinbase's stack, including its x402 protocol and AgentKit, embeds governance rules. This vertical integration across settlement, wallet, and governance layers is becoming the dominant strategy. Control over the governance layer is where significant future value lies. If agents handle trillions in transactions, even a small fee for managing compliance, fraud prevention, and policy enforcement could generate billions in annual revenue. The companies that successfully integrate across the payment stack will capture value from idle agent balances, transaction fees, and governance services, positioning themselves as the foundational banks of the AI agent economy.
