Key Takeaways:
- World Liberty Financial has launched World Liberty Markets, a live web app enabling lending and borrowing for its USD1 stablecoin.
- The platform runs on Dolomite’s liquidity infrastructure, supporting USD1 alongside WLFI, ETH, cbBTC, USDC, and USDT.
- USD1’s circulating supply has surpassed $3 billion, and the launch expands its utility beyond trading into onchain credit and yield.
World Liberty Financial has switched on its first web-based product, World Liberty Markets, bringing lending and borrowing functionality to USD1 and signaling a shift from distribution to active onchain use. The rollout positions USD1 inside DeFi credit markets from day one, with plans to broaden products and integrations over time.

World Liberty Markets Opens USD1 to Onchain Credit
World Liberty Markets is now live, giving users a single interface to supply assets for yield or borrow against their portfolios. The platform is powered by Dolomite, a DeFi protocol known for flexible, high-performance liquidity markets.
At launch, users can supply USD1 to earn returns or unlock borrowing by posting supported collateral. Those collateral options include the WLFI governance token, ether (ETH), Coinbase-wrapped bitcoin (cbBTC), and major stablecoins USDC and USDT. The setup places USD1 directly alongside established assets rather than isolating it in a closed ecosystem.
This matters because stablecoins often reach scale before they gain deep utility. USD1 has already crossed $3 billion in circulating supply, but World Liberty Markets marks the first time holders can systematically deploy it for yield or credit within the WLFI ecosystem.
According to World Liberty Financial, the goal is speed and simplicity. Markets are designed to work immediately, without complex configuration, allowing users to make their USD1 productive as soon as they connect.

Built on Dolomite, Designed for Expansion
The decision to build on Dolomite gives World Liberty Markets access to an existing lending framework optimized for fast execution and flexible risk parameters. Rather than reinventing DeFi credit, WLFI is plugging USD1 into infrastructure that already supports multi-asset lending at scale.
A Unified Interface for WLFI Products
World Liberty Markets is intended to become the central hub for WLFI’s growing product suite. While today’s focus is lending and borrowing, the roadmap points toward a broader financial stack.
The platform is expected to expand in several directions:
- Support for additional collateral and tokenized assets as they launch
- Access to WLFI-branded and third-party real-world asset (RWA) products
- Deeper integration of USD1 across partner apps and networks
As USD1 appears in more external protocols, World Liberty Markets is positioned as the place where those opportunities converge. Instead of fragmenting liquidity across interfaces, WLFI aims to keep discovery and usage centralized.
USD1 Moves From Circulation to Utility
USD1’s growth has been rapid. The dollar-backed stablecoin recently exceeded $3 billion in supply and has seen rising trading activity across major exchanges. Until now, much of that activity centered on transfers and trading pairs.
World Liberty Markets reframes that growth as a starting point rather than a finish line. By embedding USD1 into lending markets, WLFI is testing whether the stablecoin can hold demand when users are asked to commit capital rather than simply move it.
Company leadership has been explicit about this shift. The launch is presented as a shift towards implementation of the concept, and USD1 is likely to seek attention in the more challenging onchain credit space.
Initial adoption will probably be limited as liquidity accumulates, but the form is the reflection of how other leading stablecoins gained momentum, first dissemination, then functionality, and then increased integration in DeFi.
Governance and Community Control Built In
Another characteristic of World Liberty Markets is the place given to the holders of WLFI tokens. Governance is not an ex-post facto. As the platform is going to evolve, token holders can suggest and vote on new collateral assets, incentive models, and market parameters.
This provides the community with power on the development of USD1 and other related markets. The higher the liquidity, the more consequential such decisions will be, defining the risk profiles and yield opportunities.
The governance model also fits within the larger positioning of WLFI as a DeFi native platform as opposed to a fixed product. Typically, markets will evolve due to patterns of usage and entry of new assets into the ecosystem.
World Liberty Markets is launched using USD1 Points Program. Users that provide USD1 are potentially able to receive a point, depending on the terms and conditions of each launch partner.
