WLFI partners with protocol backed by Binance Labs
Political ties and institutional support

​World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto platform linked to the family of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has partnered with London-based hedge fund Re7 to launch the USD1 stablecoin vault via Euler Finance and the liquid staking protocol Lista.

According to Bloomberg, this partnership is part of a broader effort to expand WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin within the BNB Chain ecosystem.

Lista is one of the key liquid staking platforms for BNB and is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) backed by Binance Labs, the venture arm of Binance. Binance Labs invested $10 million in Lista in August 2023, when it was still known as Helio Protocol, to support its transition into a liquid staking provider.

Political ties and institutional support

WLFI continues to gain traction among institutional investors. Recently, the Aqua1 Foundation, a digital asset fund, announced a $100 million investment in the Trump-affiliated DeFi platform, citing WLFI’s focus on stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization as critical tools for reshaping global finance.

According to a June 13 filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Donald Trump reported $57 million in income from WLFI, primarily from token sales. However, despite its rising revenue and new deals, the Trump family reduced its ownership stake in WLFI by 20% in 2024.
