DWF Labs also announced it has purchased $25 million of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) governance tokens in a strategic private transaction, the DeFi (decentralized finance) protocol and governance platform inspired by President Donald J. Trump.
The new US office marks a significant milestone in DWF Labs’s global expansion strategy, positioning the firm to do the following.
Andrei Grachev, managing partner of DWF Labs, said,
“The US is the world’s largest single market for digital asset innovation.
“Our physical presence reflects our confidence in America’s role as the next growth region for institutional crypto adoption.
“Moreover, the USD1 stablecoin and forthcoming global DeFi solutions align with our broader mission to improve financial services.”
DWF Labs’s purchase of WLF tokens underscores its desire to participate in WLFI governance and focus on projects addressing real-world financial needs, as evidenced by the growing demand for institutional-ready stablecoins like USD1.
As part of this collaboration, DWF Labs plans to provide liquidity for USD1, leveraging its deep liquidity network and algorithmic infrastructure across centralized and decentralized venues.
This strategic role underscores DWF Lab’s commitment to supporting stable, transparent digital assets and advancing the adoption of fiat-referenced stablecoins globally.
Zak Folkman, co-founder at World Liberty Financial, said,
“We believe that crypto is going to transform and improve global finance, and stablecoins like USD1 will continue to be fundamental elements in the DeFi technology stack.
“As our partner, we expect DWF Labs to help accelerate the next-generation infrastructure we’re actively building and deploying at WLFI.”
