Wells Fargo trademarks WFUSD for crypto payments, trading and staking, hinting at a dollar stablecoin plan

Wells Fargo applied for a USPTO trademark for the ticker “WFUSD,” covering crypto trading, payments, staking software and other blockchain-based financial services, a filing that outlets say signals stablecoin intentions [1][3].

Mar 11, 20262:33 PMNewsroom AI

Wells Fargo filed a trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the ticker “WFUSD,” with a filing date listed as March 10, 2026; the application’s description covers cryptocurrency exchange services, blockchain-based payment verification, crypto hardware wallets and related digital-asset products [3][4].

The trademark language explicitly references crypto trading, payments, staking software and blockchain-based financial services, and several outlets report the filing as signaling plans for a dollar-backed stablecoin under the WFUSD ticker [1][2].

Reporting indicates the USPTO record for WFUSD falls under International Class 036 (financial services); EthNews notes the application was first filed in January 2025 and was expanded with additional categories as recently as March 9, 2026 [4].

Wells Fargo has not publicly confirmed product plans tied to the WFUSD trademark and has not issued a public statement announcing a stablecoin as of the filings reported [3].
