World Liberty Financial (WLF) — a project publicly supported by Donald Trump’s family — has taken a major leap into the decentralized finance world. Through the well-known lending protocol Aave V3, the project has recently borrowed $7.5 million in USDT, marking one of its largest DeFi moves since launch.
💸 WLF Chooses Aave, Deposits ETH, BTC, and Lido
According to analysts from Onchain Lens, WLF first deposited over $52 million worth of crypto into Aave, including ETH, wrapped Bitcoin, and Lido Staked Ether. After securing collateral, it borrowed the $7.5 million USDT, which was then moved to a Bitgo-managed wallet.
This triggered speculation that WLF may be using the funds to redeem its own stablecoin USD1. Bitgo serves as the main custodian for that token.
🌐 USD1 Stablecoin Sees Rapid Growth – But Pace Is Slowing
USD1, the stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial, has quickly climbed to a market cap of over $2.18 billion, making it one of the fastest-growing stablecoins on the market. The rapid surge was largely due to a $2 billion investment by the MGX sovereign fund via Binance, executed in USD1.
However, the supply has grown much more slowly in recent weeks — increasing by less than $60 million over the past 30 days. WLF is trying to stimulate adoption through various incentives — including a $4 million airdrop to WLFI token holders as part of a broader campaign promoting adoption on BNB Smart Chain.
🧩 DeFi Platforms and Exchanges Are Integrating USD1
The USD1 stablecoin is already being integrated into several key DeFi platforms:
🔹 DWF Liquid Markets
🔹 PancakeSwap
🔹 ListaDAO
🔹 Venus Protocol
🔹 Aster DEX
Meanwhile, MEXC exchange is offering an eye-catching 100% APR for deposits made in USD1.
🔥 Aave Activity Surges – DeFi Is Booming
World Liberty Financial isn't the only project using Aave. Recently, the Ethereum Foundation borrowed $2 million worth of GHO stablecoins from the protocol, contributing to a wave of increased activity. As a result, Aave hit new milestones:
🔹 Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeded $40 billion
🔹 Outstanding loans climbed past $16 billion
🧨 Trump Branding Fuels WLF’s Popularity – But Sparks Debate
The project’s popularity is largely driven by its association with Trump’s family. While Donald Trump and his sons aren’t officially involved in WLF’s operations, their public support appears to be a powerful marketing engine — and a major factor behind investor interest.
Eric Trump recently announced WLF’s plans to acquire the TRUMP memecoin for its treasury. And Donald Trump Jr. confirmed that the project is working on an official crypto wallet, distancing itself from the Magic Eden wallet, which had falsely claimed a Trump connection.
⚖️ Praise and Criticism Alike
Trump’s involvement in crypto has sparked both media attention and criticism — from political opponents and even members of the crypto community who argue that the former president’s pro-crypto stances may be advancing his private interests.
Regardless, WLF continues to gain traction, whether due to real innovation — or the power of presidential branding.
