Service Offerings: Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLF), announced that their service will provide simplified transfers at a fraction of traditional fees, aiming to differentiate itself in the market.
Lending Activity: WLF's lending platform has recorded $320 million in lending activity, with over $200 million in borrowings, as part of its strategy to drive adoption of its USD1 stablecoin.
Political Scrutiny: The announcement comes amid renewed political scrutiny surrounding the Trump-backed venture, with investigations into Trump's cryptocurrency ties being initiated by California's representative Ro Khanna.
Market Position: WLF's price has seen a decline of nearly 30% in 2026 alone, with retail sentiment around the cryptocurrency token trending bearish, despite the platform's plans to launch a foreign exchange and remittance service aimed at reducing cross-border transfer costs.
