World Liberty Financial has rolled out a new crypto lending and borrowing platform called World Liberty Markets. The platform deepens the use cases for its USD1 stablecoin and WLFI governance token. The launch also advances the Trump‑backed DeFi project’s push to position USD1 as a core dollar asset in on‑chain credit markets.

Key Features of World Liberty Markets

World Liberty Markets, according to reports, is a web application that lets users supply and borrow digital assets through a lending protocol powered by Dolomite’s DeFi infrastructure. At launch, the platform supports USD1, WLFI, Ether (ETH), tokenized Bitcoin via cbBTC, and leading stablecoins USDC and USDT as collateral or borrowable assets.

USD1, a fully backed dollar‑pegged stablecoin, sits at the center of the new platform. The platform treats it as primary collateral for lending markets.

World Liberty Financial says the circulating supply of USD1 has passed 3 billion dollars, with rising trading volumes on major exchanges. Additionally, it now gains a dedicated way for holders to deploy the token in on‑chain credit markets.

Dolomite Integration and Rewards

World Liberty Markets relies on Dolomite as its underlying money market engine. This enables it to tap into a pre‑existing liquidity and risk‑management framework rather than building a proprietary protocol from scratch. Users can earn yield by supplying supported assets and can borrow against their portfolios, subject to Dolomite’s collateral and liquidation parameters.

Alongside the launch, World Liberty Financial has extended its USD1 Points Program into World Liberty Markets. This allows eligible users who supply USD1 to accrue reward points under defined terms.

The company describes the new app as its first major web interface, with mobile support and further features expected in subsequent releases over the next 18 months.

Strategy, Regulation, and Next Steps

The lending launch is part of a broader roadmap that includes tokenized real‑world assets, expanded on‑ and off‑ramps, and potential card‑based payment tools for USD1.

World Liberty Financial has signaled that World Liberty Markets will act as a hub for future collateral types. These include external RWA tokens and integrations with prediction markets and real estate platforms.

In parallel, an affiliated entity has applied to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a national trust bank charter under the name World Liberty Trust Company, focused on stablecoin operations and custody.

If approved, the charter would place USD1 issuance under federal oversight and align World Liberty with other stablecoin issuers seeking banking‑style licenses.
