- •WLFI is launching a debit card linked to its USD1 stablecoin and integrated with Apple Pay, combining features of payment apps like Venmo and trading platforms like Robinhood.
- •Despite a 37% price drop since launch, WLFI plans to use 100% of liquidity fees to buy back and burn tokens, aiming to create scarcity and stabilize value.
- •WLFI signed an MOU with Bithumb to explore collaborations, giving the project potential exposure to Asia’s active retail crypto market.
As the crypto market gains more competition, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) also steps up its game, where Jacquelyn Melinek tweeted that at Korea Blockchain Week 2025, Zak Folkman announced that World Liberty Financial promises its own debit card launch and Apple Pay integration, which will enable users to spend via Apple’s payment system.
Debit Card Tied With Apple Pay
WLFI plans to issue their debit card linked to Apple Pay, enabling users to spend via Apple’s payment system, which is considered one of the most secure platforms. The card will be tied to WLFI’s stablecoin USD1, so users can use USD1 for daily transactions via the card.
Folkman described that this app will be a combination of Venmo and Robinhood. It will send money like payment apps and trade cryptocurrencies as well as other assets. These products aim to unite traditional finance and crypto all in one. Folkman also made it clear that WLFI will not be launching its own blockchain, but instead will focus on working across different blockchains, that is, a chain-agnostic approach.
WLFI Slow Price Performance
The WLFI token has faced a rough start, and since its launch on September 1st, the price has dropped 37%, now trading at $0.21. Folkman acknowledged that the price will continue to fluctuate, but he believes that the launch of the app will bring a comeback in the market.
While the WLFI token value is decreasing and is under selling pressure, to counteract this, the project has passed a proposal to use 100% of the liquidity fees to reduce the circulating supply. This way it could boost scarcity, which can help support WLFI’s price, make the token more appealing in the long run, and sustain its growth.

Partnering With Bithumb
During the same event at Korea Blockchain Week 2025, WLFI announced that they signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Bithumb, one of South Korea’s largest crypto exchanges. The MOU is not yet a full listing or product launch, but rather an agreement to explore collaboration and future business opportunities.
It is essential for both parties since with WLFI’s help, Bithumb can gain more market access across Asia, from which WLFI can also equally gain benefits to understand the market. The partnership could also open WLFI to a highly active retail trading market right at the time when they are launching their own app.

WLFI’s Strategic Play
WLFI’s plan to launch their debit card linked with Apple Pay could bring an all-in-one app with traditional financing and crypto trading, which may bring ease to its users. Despite its token performing poorly in the market, Folkman is still confident that the launch of the app could bring a comeback, as well as formulated strategies to reduce its supply to gain more value. Alongside all this, WLFI has also gone global, partnering with Bithumb, by which they can gain coverage of the Asian market to bring more audience to their platform.
