Key Takeaways:

World Liberty Financial has officially launched World Liberty Markets, a decentralized lending and borrowing platform.

Built on the Dolomite protocol, the platform is designed to unlock yield and leverage for the project’s USD1 stablecoin.

With Donald Trump as “Chief Crypto Advocate,” the move signals a shift from simple payments to complex financial products, supported by a pending federal bank charter application.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto venture championed by the family of U.S. President Donald Trump, has officially activated World Liberty Markets. The launch marks a critical evolution for the project, transitioning it from a stablecoin issuer into a comprehensive DeFi service provider.

Unlocking Liquidity for USD1

The primary objective of World Liberty Markets is to provide utility for USD1, the project’s dollar-pegged stablecoin which has already amassed a market cap of approximately $3.5 billion.

Until now, USD1 was primarily a transactional tool. With this launch, holders can now deposit USD1 to earn yield or use it as collateral to borrow other assets. At launch, the platform supports a curated list of high-liquidity assets, including:

USD1 (Native Stablecoin)

WLFI (Governance Token)

Ethereum (ETH)

Tokenized Bitcoin (cbBTC)

USDC & USDT

Powered by Dolomite

Rather than building from scratch, World Liberty Markets leverages the infrastructure of Dolomite, a next-generation money market protocol known for its capital efficiency and modular architecture. This technical partnership ensures that World Liberty Markets offers professional-grade features – such as over-collateralized borrowing and advanced risk management – from day one.

“We are moving beyond static stablecoins,” said Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial. “This platform transforms USD1 into a productive asset capable of generating returns, aligning with our vision to modernize American finance.”

The “Future of Finance” Agenda

The launch arrives amidst a broader aggressive push by the Trump-linked project. Just days prior, an affiliated entity filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a national trust bank.

If approved, this charter would place USD1 under federal oversight, potentially making it the first DeFi-native stablecoin with direct integration into the U.S. banking system. The roadmap for World Liberty Markets includes the imminent release of a mobile app, debit card integration, and the potential tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWAs), further blurring the lines between traditional banking and decentralized finance.
