World Liberty Financial, backed by the Trump family, is set to launch a suite of real-world asset (RWA) products, including a USD1 stablecoin. This move comes on the heels of their partnership with Mantle’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, marking a significant shift in traditional finance towards decentralized finance (DeFi). This strategic collaboration will allow them to integrate real-world assets with DeFi applications starting January. World Liberty Financial is strategically leveraging the Mantle network to bridge the gap between legacy finance and blockchain technologies, utilizing a $7.7 million buyback plan to stabilize their WLFI token prices. Bybit co-founder Ben Zhou sees this as a major step towards bridging the gap between traditional financial systems and DeFi, highlighting the importance of integrating both worlds for maximum efficiency.
