Odaily News On the opening day of the World Liberty Forum, hosted by World Liberty Financial at Mar-a-Lago, its platform token WLFI rose by approximately 18%. Co-founder Eric Trump stated that despite market fluctuations, the overall development of the cryptocurrency industry is still at the "one-yard line" stage, indicating the industry remains in its early phases.

Eric Trump pointed out that an increasing number of traditional financial institutions are beginning to provide crypto asset exposure for their clients and are incorporating digital assets into their strategic plans, signaling a shift in mainstream capital's attitude.

Meanwhile, financial services company Apex Group announced plans to test the USD1 stablecoin, launched by World Liberty, within traditional fund management processes, aiming to enhance the settlement efficiency of tokenized assets.
