Trump-linked WLFI invests $10M in Falcon Finance to boost stablecoin liquidity

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a platform linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s family, has announced a $10 million investment in Falcon Finance, a synthetic stablecoin protocol, to support the development of cross-platform stablecoin infrastructure [1]. The investment aims to enhance liquidity and interoperability between Falcon Finance’s Falcon USD (USDf) and WLFI’s World Liberty Financial USD (USD1), a stablecoin launched by WLFI in March [2]. Falcon Finance plans to use the funding to develop shared liquidity, multichain compatibility, and fast conversion infrastructure between the two stablecoins [3].

USD1, associated with Trump’s son Eric, will also serve as collateral on Falcon Finance’s platform [4]. This collaboration is expected to create a “more robust and flexible digital dollar infrastructure” for both retail and institutional participants, according to Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial [5]. Falcon Finance’s synthetic dollar protocols already accept a range of collateral assets, and USD1’s one-to-one redeemability and reserve-backed structure are intended to complement Falcon’s synthetic dollar offerings as an additional collateral asset [6].

The announcement follows a period of volatility for both USDf and USD1. In early July, USDf fell below its $1 peg to as low as $0.9783, raising concerns about the synthetic overcollateralized stablecoin’s collateral quality [7]. Although USDf regained its $1 parity by July 14, USD1 has yet to fully recover, trading at $0.9993 as of the time of the report [8]. The investment comes amid growing regulatory scrutiny of the Trump-family-linked blockchain activities and rising political tensions over U.S. crypto legislation [9].

WLFI’s involvement in the crypto space has sparked debate, particularly as crypto-related ventures have added at least $620 million to Trump’s estimated $6 billion net worth [10]. The political divide has deepened in the U.S. Congress following Democratic leaders’ rejection of Republican-backed crypto legislation, including the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act and the CLARITY Act [11]. Critics argue that these bills lack necessary consumer protections and could enable what they describe as “Trump’s unprecedented crypto scam” [12].

The investment reflects a broader strategy by WLFI to expand USD1’s utility and market presence, with reports indicating its use in significant transactions, such as settling a $2 billion investment into Binance Exchange [13]. Analysts suggest that the growing influence of Trump-linked crypto projects may further complicate the regulatory landscape and delay the passage of comprehensive blockchain legislation in the U.S. [14].
