Trump-Linked World Liberty Financial Drops DeFi Lending Platform for USD1 Stablecoin

What’s Hot Today?

Big news on the DeFi front: World Liberty Financial—the Trump family–backed crypto player—just launched World Liberty Markets, a web app offering lending and borrowing for its dollar-pegged stablecoin, USD1. This is their first step into decentralized finance, and the market is buzzing.

Here’s What’s New

• You can now borrow and lend USD1 (their stablecoin) using ETH, wrapped Bitcoin, USDC, USDT, and the WLFI token as collateral.

• Launched on DeFi protocol Dolomite; Dolomite’s DOLO token ripped 57% on the news, WLFI jumped nearly 5%.

• Initial lending rates: borrow USD1 at ~0.83%, lend at 0.08%—though volumes are still thin as the platform opens up.

• USD1’s circulating supply just topped $3.4 billion, giving this project serious scale.

• A new USD1 Points Program will reward users who supply the stablecoin (details TBA).

Wall Street Isn’t Warning You, But This Chart Might

Vanguard just projected public markets may return only 5% annually over the next decade. In a 2024 report, Goldman Sachs forecasted the S&P 500 may return just 3% annually for the same time frame—stats that put current valuations in the 7th percentile of history.

Translation? The gains we’ve seen over the past few years might not continue for quite a while.

Meanwhile, another asset class—almost entirely uncorrelated to the S&P 500 historically—has overall outpaced it for decades (1995-2024), according to Masterworks data.

Masterworks lets everyday investors invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artworks by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.

And they’re not just buying. They’re exiting—with net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% among their 23 sales.*

Wall Street won’t talk about this. But the wealthy already are. Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…

Why This Matters

• This move is all about bringing “real-world” use to USD1, taking it out of pure speculation and into mainstream DeFi lending/borrowing.

• Platforms like this keep pushing crypto deeper into the global financial system… and give stablecoin holders something to actually do with their dollars.

• World Liberty’s roadmap promises even more tools over the next 18 months.
