World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), a Trump family-backed DeFi platform, has partnered with Re7 Labs to launch a vault for its $USD1 stablecoin on Binance’s $BNB Chain.

How a Simple Vault Could Unlock Billions in Crypto Liquidity

The collaboration, announced on June 27, will deploy $USD1 on Euler and Lista, decentralized lending and trading protocols. This vault aims to scale $USD1’s utility within the $BNB Chain ecosystem, enhancing capital efficiency and transparency in decentralized finance (DeFi).

$USD1 market cap according to defillama.com metrics.

Re7 Labs, the innovation arm of London-based Re7 Capital, brings technical expertise to the initiative. Re7 Capital recently secured up to $10 million from Hong Kong’s VMS Group, marking the family office’s first major cryptocurrency investment.

$WLFI’s growth is further supported by significant capital injections. DWF Labs invested $25 million, while Chinese crypto entrepreneur and Tron founder Justin Sun contributed $75 million and joined as an adviser. UAE-based Aqua 1 Foundation acquired $100 million worth of WLF tokens, becoming its largest individual investor.

A notable real-world application emerged in May 2025, when Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund entity MGX leveraged $USD1 to execute a $2 billion investment in Binance. This underscores the stablecoin’s practical utility in institutional transactions.

Social media reactions highlighted the partnership’s strategic focus, with industry accounts emphasizing its potential to expand $USD1’s ecosystem on $BNB Chain. $WLFI’s $USD1 has a market valuation of $2.205 billion with 2.157 billion $USD1 issued on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). $USD1 is also issued on Tron.

The announcement notes that the partnership aligns with broader institutional interest in cryptocurrency and aims to drive the adoption of $USD1 in DeFi through trusted infrastructure.
