16-4-2025 – Global market maker DWF Labs has announced a substantial $25 million investment in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump family-backed decentralised finance venture, whilst simultaneously expanding its footprint into the American market.
The firm’s strategic establishment of a New York City base marks a pivotal move towards deeper engagement with US financial institutions and regulatory bodies. This expansion demonstrates DWF’s bullish outlook on America’s potential to drive institutional cryptocurrency adoption, according to Managing Partner Andrei Grachev.
Central to WLFI’s offering is USD1, an innovative stablecoin project underpinned by a robust combination of short-term Treasury bills, cash reserves and equivalent assets. The investment grants DWF Labs a meaningful governance position within the protocol, with the market maker pledging to provide essential liquidity support across both centralised and decentralised trading platforms.
WLFI co-founder Zak Folkman expressed enthusiasm about the partnership’s potential to catalyse the protocol’s infrastructure development. The project’s USD1 stablecoin is being carefully positioned to meet growing demand from institutional investors, with a particular focus on sovereign wealth funds.
DWF Labs’ American expansion strategy extends beyond mere market presence, encompassing plans to forge partnerships with prestigious academic institutions to advance cryptocurrency education. The firm is also actively recruiting local talent, signalling its long-term commitment to the US market.
