Crypto market maker DWF Labs announced a $25 million investment in World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance (DeFi) project backed by US President Donald Trump and his sons, as the company expands into the United States with an office in New York City.
On April 16, Dubai-based DWF Labs said it had purchased World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens through a private transaction.
The firm said the transaction reflects its intent to participate in WLFI’s governance. As tokenholders, DWF Labs will be able to vote on decisions that impact the ecosystem.
WLFI launched on Sept. 16, 2024, to promote DeFi and US dollar-pegged stablecoins. During the launch, Trump said the family was “embracing the future with crypto and leaving the slow and outdated big banks behind.”
DWF Labs to provide liquidity for USD1 stablecoin
Alongside the WLFI investment, DWF Labs said the collaboration includes providing liquidity for the project’s stablecoin, World Liberty Financial USD (USD1).
On March 24, the DeFi project launched USD1 on BNB Chain and Ethereum. However, the project clarified that the stablecoin was not yet tradable.
DWF Labs is a market maker that provides liquidity for over 60 exchanges around the globe. A market maker allows traders to execute their trades by providing liquidity. They make or take orders from traders, allowing smooth trading operations.
The investment coincides with DWF’s expansion into the US. The market maker said it had established an office in New York City as part of its global expansion plans.
The company expects the expansion to improve its institutional partnerships with banks, asset managers and fintech companies. It also aims to strengthen its engagement with US regulators.

WLFI has raised over $600 million since its launch
Since its launch in September, World Liberty Financial has already raised over $600 million for its DeFi protocol.
The company raised $300 million during its first token sale by selling 20 billion WLFI tokens. The company sold another 5 billion tokens at $0.05 each, meeting its price target of an extra $250 million on March 14. This puts the overall WLFI public token sales earnings at $550 million.
On Nov. 25, Tron Founder Justin Sun purchased 2 billion WLFI tokens for $30 million. Investment platform Web3Port also announced a $10 million WLFI investment, while venture capital firm Oddiyana Ventures announced a strategic investment without disclosing the amount.
