Zak Folkman, Co-Founder and COO of World Liberty Financial, said, “A year ago, we set out to build a stablecoin that could compete with the biggest names in crypto, and USD1 has exceeded every expectation. Now we’re giving USD1 users access to even more ways to put their stablecoins to work. World Liberty Markets is a major step forward, and it’s just the first of many products we’re planning to roll out over the next 18 months.”
World Liberty Markets allows users to lend and borrow USD1, while also letting them use other assets like WLFI, ETH, cbBTC, USDC, and USDT as collateral.
