Trump family-backed crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, recently confirmed it will introduce its new RWA product lineup in January 2026. Co-founder Zach Witkoff shared the update on Dec. 3 during a Binance event in Dubai.
World Liberty Financial is preparing to broaden access to instruments backed by materials such as oil, gas, cotton, and timber. These offerings will go on-chain and be paired with the company’s dollar-linked stablecoin USD1.
The project aims to reach a global audience rather than focusing solely on the United States. It is also developing a debit card, which is expected to debut in late 2025 or early 2026. Plans for a dedicated mobile app and wallet system are also underway.
World Liberty Financial’s interest in the RWA sector comes amid massive growth in tokenized asset markets. Instruments tied to government debt and various other real-world holdings have seen extraordinary demand throughout the year.
Large trading platforms have already entered the space. In June, Robinhood launched a layer-2 network built on Arbitrum and started offering tokenized shares to users in the European Union.
Data indicates the platform now lists nearly a thousand tokenized equities and pooled products on-chain, holding around $10.8 million in value.
Data shows that regulated tokenized public equities now total $656 million, with monthly transfer activity reaching $1.14 billion. Ondo leads the issuers with roughly 52% market share, while Backed Finance holds 24% and Securitize accounts for about 20%.
Earlier this week, tokenization platform OpenEden completed a new funding round backed by several major industry names, like Ripple and Gate Ventures. This signals expanding institutional demand for compliant yield-oriented digital instruments.
On Dec. 2, Kraken announced the acquisition of Backed Finance AG, the firm behind the xStocks token issuance platform.

Legal experts are concerned that transforming ESMA into the “European SEC” may hinder the licensing of crypto and fintech in the region. The European Commission’s proposal to expand the powers of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is raising concerns about the centralization of the bloc’s licensing regime, despite signaling deeper institutional ambitions for its capital markets structure.On Thursday, the Commission published a package proposing to “direct supervisory competences” for key pieces of market infrastructure, including crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), trading venues and central counterparties to ESMA, Cointelegraph reported.Concerningly, the ESMA’s jurisdiction would extend to both the supervision and licensing of all European crypto and financial technology (fintech) firms, potentially leading to slower licensing regimes and hindering startup development, according to Faustine Fleuret, head of public affairs at decentralized lending protocol Morpho.Read more
