JUST IN: WLFI Backs Falcon Finance with $10M for Stablecoin Expansion

 

World Liberty Financial (WLFI)—a decentralized finance firm linked to the Trump family—has made a $10 million strategic investment in Falcon Finance, the firm announced today .

 

Investment Aims & Strategic Goals

The funding will support liquidity sharing and cross‑chain interoperability between Falcon Finance’s synthetic stablecoin (USDf) and WLFI’s fiat-backed USD1 token .

 

USD1, already accepted as collateral within Falcon’s protocol, will now act as a reserve-backed asset to improve stability and resiliency in USDf’s overcollateralized framework .

 

Falcon Finance plans to use the capital to build multi-chain compatibility, smart contract modules, and fast conversion systems between USDf and USD1 .

 

Importance for DeFi & Digital Dollar Infrastructure

The partnership creates a dual‑dollar infrastructure, integrating USD1’s fiat-backed liquidity with Falcon’s synthetic asset model. This can unlock new use cases for both retail and institutional users looking for on-chain dollar instruments .

 

Falcon’s USDf has already scaled past $1 billion in circulating supply, while USD1 holds fiat reserves and is directly redeemable at a 1:1 U.S. dollar ratio .

 

Political & Regulatory Dimensions

Given WLFI’s ties to the Trump family, the investment has drawn renewed scrutiny amid ongoing legislative debates over crypto policy. Critics argue that government-linked involvement in corporate blockchain projects could pose potential conflicts of interest .

 

What to Watch Going Forward

Integration rollouts enabling seamless USD1 <> USDf swaps and multi-chain support
