World Liberty Debuts Onchain Lending Platform to Drive USD1 Adoption

The rollout shifts the Trump-backed firm toward a broader DeFi model that keeps its dollar token in active use.

Overview

  • World Liberty Markets is live on Ethereum, powered by Dolomite, with support for ETH, cbBTC, USDC, USDT, USD1, and WLFI at launch.
  • USD1’s circulating value has grown to roughly $3.4 billion since last year, according to CoinGecko, and the company aims to increase its utility through lending and borrowing.
  • WLFI, previously focused on governance and staking, now functions as a lendable and borrowable asset on the new platform.
  • The company plans to add more collateral types and expand to additional blockchains, with potential tokenized real‑world assets, including previously discussed Trump‑linked real estate.
  • World Liberty has applied for a U.S. bank charter and plans a WLFI mobile app later this year, with a crypto debit card concept under exploration.
