According to The Block, Wells Fargo filed a trademark application for "WFUSD" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on March 9, covering three categories: digital asset trading software, cryptocurrency trading and exchange services, asset tokenization, and blockchain payment infrastructure. The naming format "WFUSD" closely resembles the standard code format for USD-pegged stablecoins, and the application explicitly mentions software for processing stablecoin transactions. Wells Fargo currently holds approximately $2.1 trillion in assets and has previously invested in blockchain analytics firm Elliptic and cryptocurrency trading infrastructure company Talos; its investment research division also classified digital assets as an "investable asset class" in March 2025. Wells Fargo has not yet publicly responded to the trademark application.
