Trump-linked World Liberty Financial braces for a massive ecosystem expansion, with plans to launch a debit card and a retail application that would blend trading features and peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions.
The block revealed that WLFI’s co-founder, Zak Folkman, shared the news during a fireside conversation during Tuesday’s Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul.

The debit card will launch “very soon” and will be crucial to the upcoming retail launch. Commenting on the soon-to-debut card, Folkman said:
This allows users to be able to attach their USD1 and their World Liberty Financial app right into their Apple Pay. Not today, but it’s coming very soon.
Individuals can use the debit card to spend World Liberty’s stablecoin, USD1, at all joints that accept Apple Pay.
The move is part of the growing Web3 trend to make digital tokens spendable in day-to-day dealings.
WLFI’s retail app: “Venmo meets Robinhood”
Folkman confirmed plans to launch an innovative retail application, which he describes as Venmo meets Robinhood.
The app will adopt user-friendliness, allowing individuals to complete P2P payments with an interactive interface for streamlined asset buying and selling.
With trading and payment offerings, World Liberty signals plans to expand beyond a crypto project into a complete financial lifestyle powerhouse.
These two features could help bridge cryptocurrency and traditional finance.
Also, it is crucial in promoting digital asset adoption through daily spending.
Folkman also clarified that the DeFi project has no plans to launch a chain, emphasizing:
We believe that our job is not to roll out chains or exchanges or anything like that, but to be completely agnostic when it comes to chains, technology, distribution platforms.
WLFI price outlook
World Liberty’s native token has underperformed since its official debut on September 1.
It plunged from above $0.30 to $0.2039 at press time.
Chart by CoinmarketcapWLFI has lost more than 12% in the past 24 hours due to the ongoing market bloodbath.
Meanwhile, the team has adopted various strategies to enhance WLFi’s tokenomics, including plans to burn all liquidity fees.
Folkman acknowledged that broader market conditions will continue to influence WLFI performance.
Nonetheless, the co-founder emphasized focus on long-term value and not short-term price movements.
We’re not in this to run a sprint, this truly is a marathon. World Liberty Financial is not thinking in terms of months or even years. We’re thinking in terms of decades and how we can build products that have staying power.
Indeed, WLFI is poised for significant use cases that will drive its growth in the years to come.
A combined trading-payments app and spending USD1 through Apple Pay could attract more individuals to hold and use the altcoin.
Increased use cases often boost demand, which supports stable price actions with soaring adoption.
