WLFI, the crypto project affiliated with the Trump family, has officially integrated its stablecoin USD1 into the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network, a cutting-edge infrastructure developed by Nubit. This integration marks USD1 as the sole stablecoin actively operating on the Bitcoin mainnet, following the suspension of Tether’s Omni-based USDT. The partnership introduces a streamlined and high-speed mechanism for stablecoin transactions directly on Bitcoin’s blockchain, enhancing liquidity and usability for users.
With this advancement, holders of USD1 can seamlessly transfer and receive funds on the Bitcoin mainnet and utilize the stablecoin for acquiring nodes within the Thunderbolt Network ecosystem. The collaboration between WLFI and Nubit is poised to broaden Bitcoin’s utility, particularly in stablecoin adoption and payment solutions, with USD1 expected to dominate over 90% of the network’s stablecoin circulation volume.
Earlier developments in April saw HSBC announce a significant upgrade to the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network via a mainnet soft fork, introducing UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT instructions. These enhancements facilitate native asset issuance, accelerate transactions, and enable on-chain smart verification. Performance benchmarks indicate a 1,000 to 2,000-fold increase in network efficiency, underscoring the collaborative innovation driven by Bitcoin miners, core developers, and the Nubit team.
