- Cross-chain WLFI transfers have just been launched as part of World Liberty Financial’s mission to merge traditional finance with decentralized innovation.
- CCIP will not only handle token transfers, but also cross-chain messaging, and even future innovations.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has just announced on its X account that the WLFI governance token is now officially transferable across multiple blockchains, secured by Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). CCIP is built with Chainlink’s time-tested decentralized oracle networks, which already secure trillions in value. This drastically reduces the risks of hacks and exploits that have plagued traditional token bridges.
CCIP uses the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard, which streamlines token transfers and makes it easier for developers to integrate cross-chain functionality without reinventing the wheel. By doing this, WLFI is breaking down blockchain silos and making its token far more versatile. Starting today, users can seamlessly move WLFI across Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and BNB Chain.
This upgrade adds real utility by opening the door for WLFI holders to interact with applications, liquidity pools, and governance tools across different networks without relying on risky third-party bridges.
The Chainlink team said in the X post that,
Through its partnership with Chainlink, World Liberty Financial is reinforcing its position at the forefront of blockchain innovation as it continues to play a critical role in advancing the convergence of traditional finance and DeFi.
Back in May, Crypto News Flash reported on World Liberty Financial’s partnership with Chainlink. The collaboration was designed to give an extra boost to USD1, WLF’s flagship stablecoin that launched in March.
Pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, USD1 is backed by fiat and powered by Chainlink’s CCIP, allowing it to move seamlessly and securely across different blockchains. The idea is simple: make USD1 as flexible and reliable as possible in a multi-chain world.
Billion-Dollar Crypto Venture
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Trump family gained up to $5 billion in paper wealth after WLFI opened public trading. This launch mirrors an IPO, allowing WLFI to be bought and sold openly like shares.
The family holds nearly a quarter of all WLFI tokens, with Donald Trump named “Co-Founder Emeritus” and his three sons as co-founders of World Liberty. Although founders’ tokens remain locked, the market debut established WLFI as the Trumps’ most valuable asset, surpassing even their global real estate empire.
President Trump launched World Liberty Financial while campaigning, framing it as part of his vision to “Make America Great Again, this time with crypto.” With WLFI now cross-chain and publicly traded, the venture is becoming one of the most influential projects bridging politics, finance, and blockchain.
Chainlink has also had a milestone of its own. Just last week, we highlighted how its trading volume in August 2025 surged past $46.6 billion, the highest monthly figure so far this year. To put that in perspective, August alone accounted for nearly a quarter of Chainlink’s total trading activity since January.
At the moment, trading volume is sitting at about $1.1 billion. LINK is down 1.26% in the past 24 hours, hovering around $23, but it’s still up an impressive 47.1% over the past month.
