World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump-backed crypto company, says it wants major online businesses to accept its USD1 stablecoin as payment. Its executives presented the plan on Wednesday during a panel at Token2049 in Singapore. Cointelegraph reported the news on Oct 7, 2026.
Mesh announced a payments partnership with WLFI at the same time. Mesh expects to roll out the partnership this quarter.
The report leaves several things out. It does not say which online businesses could accept USD1, when they would start, or how the payments would work in practice. It also gives no figures on volume or fees for the plan.
Perp Desk's angle: nothing changes directly for anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX. The report does not mention any of these exchanges and says nothing about USD1 margin, collateral or perpetual contracts. It reports no change to funding rates, trading fees or liquidity.
