DWF Labs Expands to the U.S. with a New York Office and Strategic $25M WLFI Token Purchase

DWF Labs, a Web3 investment firm , has invested $25 million into World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The investment is part of DWF’s expansion

DeFi investment firm, DWF Labs has invested $25 million into World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The investment follows the firm’s expansion into the U.S. market with a new office in New York City.

As part of its expansion, DWF is aiming to interact more directly with financial institutions and regulators, as well as colleges to promote cryptocurrency education. It also hopes to forge deeper connections with the U.S. market.

DWF Labs has made the investment as part of its plan to support decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. WLFI , which is sponsored by U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, recently launched its USD1 stablecoin. The USD1 stablecoin is backed by short-term U.S. Treasury bills as well as various U.S. dollar-equivalent assets.

This collaboration grants DWF Labs governance rights in WLFI through the purchase of its tokens. The stake provides DWF with governance power to influence the development of the protocol and its success.

Moreover, DWF will use its extensive trading infrastructure to provide liquidity for the USD1 stablecoin across centralized and decentralized platforms.

World Liberty Financial launched the USD1 stablecoin on March 24, 2025, which targets institutional investment markets. The coin will meet the increased demand for a stable dollar-backed asset from major institutions and sovereign investors. DWF Labs plans to facilitate USD1 stablecoin integration and increase liquidity in its ecosystem.

WLFI has attracted over $600 million in funds since its launch in September 2024, and DWF’s investment stands as one of the largest contributions. Furthermore, the firm received investments from Tron Founder Justin Sun and investment platform Web3Port.

WLFI obtained $300 million from its first token sale, and a subsequent sale raised $250 million. The investments highlight the significant interest in World Liberty Financial’s initiative.

The U.S. market entry marks a strategic move for DWF Labs to strengthen its relationship with regulatory authorities and enhance its standing in the financial domain.

The DWF’s New York office will serve as a hub for developing institutional partnerships with banks, asset managers, fintech firms, and colleges to promote cryptocurrency education and innovation.
