DeFi investment firm DWF Labs has invested $25 million in World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The investment is part of DWF’s expansion in the U.S. market after it established a new office in New York City.

The firm aims to strengthen its presence in U.S. markets through direct interactions with financial institutions and regulators, in addition to colleges, to promote cryptocurrency knowledge.

DWF Labs Investment

DWF Labs made this investment as part of its plan to support decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. WLFI , which is supported by former 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, in addition to several U.S. dollar-equivalent assets.

This collaboration permits DWF Labs to gain governance rights in WLFI through the purchase of its tokens. The stake provides DWF with governance power to affect the protocol’s development and success.

Furthermore, DWF will leverage its vast trading infrastructure to provide liquidity for the USD1 stablecoin across both centralized and decentralized platforms.

World Liberty Financial USD1 stablecoin

Annually, the U.S. market saw an influx of over $10 billion in foreign capital in the first quarter of 2025. A portion of these funds will be channeled into cryptocurrency assets.

After several months of development, WLFI launched the USD1 stablecoin on March 24, which is focused on the institutional investment sector. The coin will meet the rising demand for a stable dollar-backed asset from major institutions and sovereign investors. DWF Labs plans to aid in integrating the USD1 stablecoin and boost liquidity in its ecosystem.

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

After its first token sale generated $300 million, WLFI obtained another $250 million from a subsequent sale.

DWF Labs’ Market Expansion

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

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

DWF Labs’ investment marks its significant role in the DeFi and stablecoin sectors. The partnership with WLFI grants the firm governance rights and supports its efforts in shaping the future of cryptocurrency.

This cooperation aims to accelerate the development and institutional adoption of USD1 in the U.S. markets.
