The company also intends to deepen its ties with US colleges and universities to promote cryptocurrency education. The acquisition of WLFI tokens will give DWF Labs a stake in the governance of the project, including USD1, a soon-to-be-launched stablecoin backed by short-term US Treasury bills, cash, and equivalents.

DWF Labs announced that it will provide liquidity for the USD1 ecosystem, using its trading infrastructure to support activity on both centralized and decentralized platforms.

Zach Folkman, co-founder of WLFI, noted that DWF’s involvement is expected to accelerate “the next-generation infrastructure we are actively building and deploying at WLFI.” DWF Labs Managing Partner Andrey Grachev added that the company’s physical presence in the U.S. reflects its confidence in “America’s role as the next growth region for institutional cryptocurrency adoption.”

WLFI positions USD1 as an institutional-grade stablecoin designed to meet growing demand from “sovereign investors and large institutions.”
