Trump-associated crypto project WLFI enters the foreign exchange track: World Swap is about to launch, bringing a new variable to digital dollar cross-border payments

February 12 News, a cryptocurrency project related to the Trump family, WLFI, announced the launch of a foreign exchange platform called World Swap. The announcement was disclosed by co-founder Zack Folkman at the Consensus conference held in Hong Kong, China, quickly attracting market attention.

The launch of World Swap signifies that WLFI is officially entering the digital foreign exchange and cross-border payment sector. The platform will build multiple application scenarios around its core stablecoin USD1, aiming to create an integrated financial system covering payments, lending, and exchanges. According to Zack Folkman, WLFI plans to hold an event later this month at Mar-a-Lago in the United States, where more product roadmaps and partnership developments will be announced.

Zack Folkman stated that the current complexity of crypto wallet operations and the high costs of cross-border transfers are key factors hindering large-scale user adoption. The goal of World Swap is to enable users to send and receive digital dollars as easily as using mainstream payment apps and to quickly exchange between different fiat currencies, directly challenging the high fees of traditional remittance services, which typically range from 2% to 10%.

From an ecosystem perspective, WLFI centers around the USD1 stablecoin, which is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and backed by cash and cash equivalents, emphasizing transparency and security. Around this asset, WLFI has launched the World Liberty Markets lending platform, which attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in deposits within weeks of going live. The project has also established partnerships with multiple decentralized finance protocols to expand the practical use cases of the token.

Notably, in late January 2026, the crypto community discovered that AMG Software Solutions LLC, based in Puerto Rico and holding the WLFI intellectual property, had registered multiple trademarks related to World Swap. This move is seen as an important signal that the project is accelerating its layout in digital foreign exchange, stablecoin payments, and cross-border financial markets.

As World Swap approaches launch, WLFI’s influence in stablecoin payments, crypto foreign exchange, and cross-border fund flows is expected to continue expanding.
