- WLFI partners with Re7 Labs to launch a stablecoin vault for decentralised lending on BNB Chain.
- Euler and Lista enable smart contract lending, increasing USD1’s utility across decentralised markets.
- VMS Group commits up to US$10M (AU$15.31M) to support vault deployment and stablecoin growth.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto platform tied to US President Donald Trump’s family, has partnered with Re7 Labs to launch a stablecoin vault for its USD1 stablecoin.
The vault will be hosted on Euler and Lista, two decentralised protocols that allow users to lend and borrow crypto assets using smart contracts. The move is part of WLFI’s plan to expand the use of its USD1 stablecoin on Binance’s BNB Chain, a blockchain network designed for high-speed, low-fee transactions.
Re7 Labs, part of the London-based hedge fund Re7 Capital, is expected to receive up to US$10 million (AU$15.31 million) from Hong Kong’s VMS Group as part of the partnership. The investment marks VMS’s first crypto exposure and comes from a family office managing roughly US$4 billion (AU$6.12 billion).
According to the companies, the collaboration is meant to create infrastructure for both institutional investors and crypto-native users, with a focus on efficiency and transparency.
Re7 Capital founder Evgeny Gokhberg said:
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to building the next generation of DeFi infrastructure – where stability, transparency, and capital efficiency converge.

Strategic Goals for USD1 Integration
The vault will offer users a way to earn yield on USD1 by providing liquidity through decentralised lending markets, expanding its presence within the BNB Chain ecosystem.
Euler and Lista automate borrowing and lending using smart contracts, removing intermediaries and enabling more transparent capital flows. The integration with Lista also taps into the growing market for liquid staking, as the protocol plays a central role in BNB Chain’s DeFi infrastructure.
By positioning USD1 within these platforms, WLFI and Re7 aim to support broader adoption of stablecoins as a foundation for DeFi use cases, from collateralised lending to trading and settlement. The capital injection from VMS Group will be used to scale the vault and support sustainable yield strategies across the ecosystem.
World Liberty Financial has continued to attract attention from global investors. In April, DWF Labs bought US$25 million (AU$38.26 million) worth of WLFI tokens, the platform’s governance token, and committed to supporting liquidity for the USD1 stablecoin. In a separate deal, UAE-based Aqua1 Foundation invested US$100 million (AU$153.05 million) into WLFI, becoming the largest single investor in the project.
