World Liberty Financial, the crypto project backed by Donald Trump Jr. and linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump, is moving deeper into tokenized assets, including commodities and financial instruments.

Speaking at the Token2049 conference in Singapore on Wednesday, CEO Zack Witkoff said the team is actively building products around tokenized bills and real-world assets.

“We’ve not only thought about it, we’re actively working on it,” Witkoff explained. “Commodities are a really interesting area for us, oil, gas, cotton, timber, all of those things should ultimately be traded on-chain.”

According to Witkoff, the project plans to pair such tokenized assets with its USD1 stablecoin, stressing that commodities and other real-world assets require a reliable and transparent stablecoin as their foundation.

Donald Trump Jr., co-founder of World Liberty Financial and eldest son of the current U.S. President, added that the project’s mission extends beyond the United States. “We should be leading as America… [but] we want this to be for the world,” Trump Jr. said. “It’s about creating a platform for global users to participate and benefit.”

Both Witkoff and Trump Jr. emphasized that World Liberty Financial is not a political vehicle, despite its close association with the Trump family. “Dollarizing the world, we do it as a patriotic mission, but it’s also very good for the world,”

Witkoff stated. “We love President Trump, and we think he’s the best president to ever exist, but World Liberty is not a political organization, it is a business.”
