Deal with DWF Labs and Its Significance
USD1 Launch and Liquidity
The project introduced the USD1 stablecoin on March 24, 2025, on BNB Chain and Ethereum. However, the token is not yet available for trading.
The team expects the partnership with DWF Labs to significantly improve USD1 liquidity. Growing demand from institutional investors for stable assets is expected to lay the groundwork for expanding the project's DeFi services.
We believe that crypto is going to transform and improve global finance, and stablecoins like USD1 will continue to be fundamental elements in the DeFi technology stack,
said Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial.

The expansion is widely seen as a strategic gesture toward the Trump brand, which is linked to World Liberty Financial.
The U.S. is the world’s largest single market for digital asset innovation… Our physical presence reflects our confidence in America’s role as the next growth region for institutional crypto adoption,
