WLFI Invests $10M in Falcon Finance to Boost On-Chain Dollar Liquidity
Stablecoin project Falcon Finance said it secured a $10 million strategic investment from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the decentralized finance (DeFi) platform with links to U.S. President Donald Trump’s family.
The funding will support technical integrations that enable liquidity between USDf, Falcon’s synthetic dollar, and WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin, according to an emailed announcement.
The investment comes as Falcon Finance surpasses $1 billion in circulating supply following its public debut.
Falcon’s risk-adjusted synthetic dollar protocol contrasts with WLFI’s fully reserved USD1, which is redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars and backed by money market funds and cash equivalents. The difference means the two projects could offer complementary means of generating yield through on-chain dollar instruments.
USD1 is already being utilized as collateral within Falcon, according to the announcement.
“By combining Falcon’s model with our fiat-backed design, we’re building a more resilient and flexible digital dollar ecosystem for global users,” Zak Folkman, WLFI co-founder, said.
