World Liberty Financial launched World Liberty Markets, a Dolomite-powered web app that lets users supply or borrow USD1. Supported collateral includes WLFI, ETH, cbBTC, USDC and USDT.

World Liberty Financial has launched World Liberty Markets, a web-based application that offers lending and borrowing for its USD1 stablecoin. The platform is built on Dolomite’s infrastructure and lets users supply USD1 or post supported collateral to access credit onchain. At launch, the company says supported collateral includes WLFI, Ethereum’s ether, cbBTC, Circle’s USDC, and Tether’s USDT.

Introduction to World Liberty Markets

World Liberty Markets is the company’s first web application providing onchain lending and borrowing tools tied to USD1. The application integrates Dolomite’s lending infrastructure to handle supply and borrow functions, moving the project from concept toward live functionality. The web version is available now, with a mobile release planned for a later date.

Supported Collateral Assets

According to World Liberty Financial, users can supply USD1 as an asset or post other supported tokens to borrow against. Supported collateral at launch includes WLFI, Ethereum’s ether (ETH), cbBTC, USDC and USDT, which places USD1 alongside other established stablecoins in lending markets.

  • USD1 stablecoin
  • WLFI
  • ETH (Ethereum’s ether)
  • cbBTC
  • USDC (Circle)
  • USDT (Tether)

For additional context on ecosystem support for USD1, see Monad support for USD1. Observers should also note recent on-chain activity related to WLFI, which is listed as accepted collateral: WLFI token movement.

USD1 Stablecoin Growth

World Liberty Financial reported that USD1 recently passed $3 billion in circulating supply and that trading activity has spread across major exchanges. The company presents the launch of World Liberty Markets as a test of how USD1 performs when users begin to put the coin to work in lending markets rather than only trading it. That framing highlights the difference between circulation and practical onchain use.

Future Plans and Roadmap

Company leadership described World Liberty Markets as the first step in a broader roadmap that includes tokenized real-world assets, expanded on- and off-ramps, and card-based spending options. These features are presented as future developments rather than components of the initial web release. The firm has indicated additional product rollouts are planned in the months ahead.

Statements from Company Leadership

Zak Folkman, co-founder and COO of World Liberty Financial, said the project set out to build a stablecoin that could compete with major names in crypto, and that USD1 has exceeded expectations. He framed World Liberty Markets as a way to give USD1 users more options for putting the stablecoin to work and described the launch as an important early product in a multi-stage plan.

Why this matters

For miners, the platform creates an additional onchain venue to convert mined rewards into a stable asset that can be supplied or used as collateral. Having USD1 available for lending and borrowing means miners can access liquidity without exiting crypto positions, which may be useful for managing operational expenses or reinvesting in equipment.

At the same time, the launch does not change mining mechanics or block rewards. Its immediate impact depends on whether you already hold USD1 or one of the accepted collateral tokens and on liquidity at exchanges and onchain markets. The planned mobile version and rewards program may improve convenience for smaller operators over time.

What to do?

  • Check which assets you already hold and whether they match the platform’s accepted collateral (WLFI, ETH, cbBTC, USDC, USDT, or USD1).
  • Read the platform terms and the USD1 Points Program conditions before supplying assets, so you understand risks and eligibility for rewards.
  • Evaluate Dolomite’s integration and onchain liquidity for the pairs you would use; start with small amounts to test execution and fees.
  • Monitor exchange and onchain liquidity for USD1 given its reported $3 billion circulating supply, and track any developments from World Liberty Financial about mobile access or new products.
