PANAMA CITY, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HTX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is proud to announce its partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), becoming one of the esteemed launch partners for the USD1 Points Program — the world's first global loyalty initiative built exclusively around the USD1 stablecoin.
As one of the pioneering exchanges to collaborate with WLFI— and notably, the first exchange globally to list USD1 — HTX reaffirms its commitment to advancing a compliant, user-centric stablecoin ecosystem. This strategic alliance reflects HTX's ongoing mission to promote innovation and sustainable adoption in the crypto space.
"At HTX, we believe stablecoins are central to the future of digital finance," said Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX. "We are proud to support the development of USD1 and this groundbreaking loyalty program. As stablecoins become foundational in global trading, payments, and the on-chain ecosystem, we remain committed to driving their growth through reliable trading infrastructure, trusted partnerships, and forward-thinking initiatives."
Introduction to WLFI and USD1
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), founded by U.S. President Donald J. Trump (Co-Founder Emeritus), Steve Witkoff (Co-Founder Emeritus), Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Barron Trump, Zach Witkoff, Alex Witkoff, Chase Herro, and Zak Folkman, is a financial technology company at the forefront of merging digital asset innovation with American values and economic sovereignty. With deep-rooted connections to U.S. leadership, WLFI is driving a movement to establish stablecoins as a cornerstone of the global financial system.
Its flagship asset, USD1, exemplifies regulatory-grade compliance and financial integrity. USD1 stands out as a stablecoin that is fully backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries, dollar deposits, and cash equivalents. This backing strategy is meticulously managed by WLFI to ensure that the value of USD1 remains tightly aligned with the U.S. dollar. With institutional-grade reserves and trusted custody partners, USD1 aims to become a foundational layer for digital payments, trading, and DeFi applications worldwide.
USD1 Points Program Benefits
The USD1 Points Program brings to crypto what loyalty programs have done for traditional industries like airlines, hotels, and credit cards. For the first time, stablecoin users can earn rewards for helping build a more sovereign and decentralized financial future.
Through this program, HTX will enable users to earn points by trading USD1 pairs, holding USD1 in balances, and staking USD1 on the platform.
Looking Ahead
HTX is honored to join this movement alongside fellow industry leaders and support the growth of the USD1 stablecoin. This collaboration marks another milestone in HTX's commitment to bringing secure, innovative, and user-focused products to the global crypto community.
More information will be shared later on about the program initiatives. Together with WLFI and other partners, HTX is building a more inclusive and rewarding future — one point at a time.

HTX Partners with World Liberty Financial to Support USD1 Points Program
ALULA, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the official opening of Desert X AlUla 2026, the landmark fourth edition of the international, open-air biennial exhibition. Arts AlUla, in collaboration with Desert X, welcomes visitors to experience a stellar line-up of Saudi and international multi-generational artists whose site-responsive earthworks, sculptures, and installations will engage in a powerful dialogue with the awe-inspiring landscapes and layered heritage of AlUla.
As a premier destination rich in ancient history and breathtaking nature, AlUla, located in Northwest Saudi Arabia, solidifies its position on the global stage as a dynamic, emerging land art destination with Desert X AlUla, the region's first public art biennale, and a key highlight of the AlUla Arts Festival.
The 2026 edition of Desert X AlUla brings together 11 acclaimed artists whose diverse works reflect a wide spectrum of ideas, materials, and traditions. From monumental kinetic sculpture to sound-based explorations above and below ground, each commission is deeply rooted in relationships to AlUla's distinctive environment, further cementing Desert X AlUla's reputation as a globally significant platform for site-responsive land art.
Desert X AlUla runs until February 28, 2026, as a cornerstone of the annual AlUla Arts Festival. Curated by Wejdan Reda, Zoé Whitley, with artistic direction by Neville Wakefield, and Raneem Farsi, its fourth edition explores 'Space Without Measure.'

Hamad Alhomiedan, Director of Arts & Creative Industries at the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), said: "At Desert X AlUla 2026, audiences will engage with art that deeply converses with AlUla's unique landscapes and rich heritage. These compelling commissions highlight AlUla's dynamic transformation into a major global destination, where ancient and contemporary expressions converge. This exhibition is part of our broader revitalisation of AlUla as a culturally rich destination to live, work and visit and integral to positioning AlUla in the global dialogue of contemporary art and as a precursor to monumental projects like Wadi AlFann."

About AlUla and Arts AlUla
Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned.
The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages. AlUla Old Town Village, a labyrinth of more than 900 mudbrick homes was developed from at least the 12th century and has been revitalised as the vibrant hub for visitors and residents.
The creation of Arts AlUla within The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) is a commitment to crafting the next chapters in a millennia of artistic creation – celebrating cultural inheritance and shaping a future inspired by artists built be artists. The work of Arts AlUla seeks to preserve this legacy: fuse the old with the new; the local with the international, keeping the arts central to the spirit of AlUla as a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage.
Wadi AlFann, meaning 'Valley of the Arts,' will be a global cultural destination for land art, unveiling from 2028 onwards, where era-defining works by artists from around the world will be permanently sited in the monumental landscape of AlUla, the extraordinary desert region of north-west Saudi Arabia.
