Trump-Linked World Liberty Financial Enters Onchain Lending With New DeFi Platform

  • World Liberty Financial launched World Liberty Markets, an on-chain lending platform that allows users to borrow or supply assets like Ether and Bitcoin for yield.
  • The news comes shortly after WLF applied for a national trust bank charter with the US OCC to support the institutional use of its USD1 stablecoin for cross-border payments and corporate treasury operations.
  • The protocol plans to expand into tokenised real-world assets and commodities as well.

World Liberty Markets, an on-chain lending marketplace built around the USD1 stablecoin went live on Monday, marking World Liberty Financial’s (WIF) entry into crypto borrowing and lending. 

As per a report from Bloomberg, the service allows users to post collateral to borrow or supply assets for yield in the same on-chain venue. Collateral at launch includes Ether, a tokenised version of Bitcoin, and major stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. The protocol also uses WLFI as its governance token.

Co-founder Zak Folkman said more collateral types are planned, including tokenised real-world assets, and that the team is exploring partnerships spanning prediction markets, crypto exchanges and real estate platforms.

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.

Zak Folkman, Co-Founder and COO of World Liberty Financial.

Expanding Beyond Stablecoins

Overall, WLF is looking to expand beyond stablecoins and general DeFi. It’s currently looking into tokenising commodities, including gas, cotton, oil, and others. “I think commodities are a really interesting area for us. All of those things, frankly, should be traded on-chain”, said Zach Witkoff, CEO of WLF.

The rollout comes after World Liberty applied for a national trust bank charter with the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The company has said the charter would support wider use of USD1, which it says is already being used for cross-border payments and treasury operations.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
