Trump-Backed WLFI Taps BONK & Raydium on Solana

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto project backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, announced a major expansion onto the Solana blockchain through partnerships with memecoin launch platform BONK.fun and decentralized exchange Raydium.

The collaboration, unveiled on November 5, marks a strategic push to integrate the project’s USD1 stablecoin into Solana’s fast-growing DeFi ecosystem.

WLFI Pushes USD1 Stablecoin Into Solana’s Core Layer

In a post on X, WLFI stated that it was “rebuilding the Solana ecosystem” in partnership with BONK.fun and Raydium as part of its mission to drive USD1 adoption.

As part of our mission to drive USD1 adoption on Solana, we’re rebuilding the ecosystem with our official partners @bonk_fun & @raydium.

Actions > words we’ve acquired some $1 as the leading USD1 community on Solana for our strategic reserve.

This is just the first step toward…

The partnership positions USD1 to compete directly with Circle’s USDC, which currently dominates Solana’s stablecoin supply. According to DeFiLlama data, USDC accounts for more than $7.9 billion of Solana’s $11.17 billion stable-coin market cap.

By integrating with BONK.fun’s launch-pad and Raydium’s AMM pools, WLFI aims to embed USD1 deep into Solana’s infrastructure. The integrations will allow new USD1-based trading pairs and token launches, while offering multi-million-dollar incentives for liquidity providers and traders in USD1 pairs.

Rapid Growth and Strategic Moves Behind WLFI

USD1 has already grown rapidly since its launch earlier in 2025. Per DeFiLlama, USD1 shows a circulating supply of around 2.17 billion tokens and a market cap near $2.97 billion.

Meanwhile, WLFI’s native token has seen fluctuating pricing. WLFI is trading today at around $0.1195.

WLFI’s leadership has also been active. The project launched a “USD1 Points Program” that rewarded users for participation in DeFi activities, and announced the appointment of Mack McCain, a former legal executive at Robinhood, as general counsel.

These moves suggest WLFI is focusing on building real infrastructure and regulatory readiness rather than purely speculative hype.

Why Solana Makes Sense for WLFI

Solana remains one of the top Layer-1 networks for DeFi activity, with low transaction fees, high throughput, and growing token-launch momentum. DeFiLlama reports Solana’s total stable-coin market cap at about $13.81 billion as of this writing.

By tapping BONK.fun (which is popular for launches and meme-token culture) and Raydium (a major AMM on Solana), WLFI is aligning itself with communities that are active and liquidity-rich. For WLFI’s stable-coin USD1, this strategy could accelerate adoption and trading volume.

Solana continues to attract new projects exploring real-world use cases and tokenized assets. For instance, initiatives focused on bringing stock tickers on-chain are expanding rapidly – read more about it in our detailed coverage on RWA adoption on Solana.

What This Means for the Ecosystem

For the Solana ecosystem, the WLFI partnerships may signal two things: first, that an ambitious new player is entering with a major stable-coin offering; second, that the ecosystem continues to attract capital and attention from outside projects.

For USD1, this could mean wider distribution, more utility, and deeper liquidity. If WLFI succeeds, the stable-coin may begin to challenge USDC’s dominance on Solana.

For WLFI token holders, this partnership marks a transition from token branding to ecosystem development. The project is shifting from governance talk to actionable infrastructure. That said, adoption will take time and execution will matter.

Beyond the Headlines: The Road Ahead

While the announcement is strong, investors should keep an eye on execution details:

• When USD1 is listed on major Solana pairings and liquidity pools become active.
• How much trading volume and user adoption the USD1 ecosystem generates.
• Whether WLFI meets regulatory, audit and compliance milestones, especially given the project’s high-profile backing.
• How broader crypto sentiment and Solana’s ecosystem growth affect momentum.

The WLFI Solana partnership may mark the beginning of a new phase for the project, but conversion of narrative into user behaviour remains the test.
