World Liberty Trust Company Advances Stablecoin Plans
World Liberty Trust Company, a Trump-linked entity, has secured a conditional bank charter to assume issuance of the USD1 stablecoin from BitGo. The conditional approval represents a significant step in establishing a regulated stablecoin issuer under a traditional banking framework rather than through cryptocurrency-native infrastructure.
The charter grants the company authority to operate as a depository institution and manage stablecoin operations, though the conditional nature suggests regulatory requirements remain before full activation. This development signals a willingness from banking regulators to permit political figures and their associated entities to participate in the stablecoin market under appropriate federal oversight.
CLARITY Act Faces Steep Legislative Headwinds
Industry analysis from Galaxy Digital has downgraded the probability of CLARITY Act passage to 10%, citing multiple substantive obstacles blocking consensus.

The narrow legislative window compounds these challenges, with the Senate scheduled to reconvene in September facing competing priorities and a compressed calendar. The low probability assessment reflects skepticism that proponents can resolve outstanding policy disputes in time to advance the bill before the end of the congressional session.
