World Liberty Financial and Aster DEX are working together. WLFI reports that USD1 will be used to settle perpetual contracts traded on their platform.
Gold, silver, crude oil, and additional markets are planned.
Aster DEX announced on X that they’re partnering with WLFI to improve how their ecosystems work together. They’re looking into ways to connect their tokens and create a more unified experience.
Both teams are looking into ways to connect their digital currencies more closely, hinting that their collaboration might grow beyond just processing payments.
Here’s an interesting tidbit: USD1 has become a major player in the stablecoin world, with a market value exceeding $4.6 billion. It’s now the fifth most popular stablecoin based on daily users, even surpassing well-known platforms like PayPal and Ethena!
All perpetual contracts on AsterDEX will be settled in USD1, not USDT. This applies exclusively to USD1. Currently supported markets include gold, silver, and crude oil, with more on the way. Both AsterDEX and the other party are looking into ways to integrate their tokens.

What USD1 Integration Means for Traders
Aster DEX lets traders access traditional assets through its decentralized platform using perpetual contracts. By accepting USD1 as a payment method, the stablecoin can now be used for more than just sending and receiving money.
With USD1, traders now have a new option: they can use it directly to trade commodity perpetuals, eliminating the need to convert to other stablecoins beforehand.
For WLFI, an increase in the value of its USD1 stablecoin leads to greater activity within its ecosystem. Each new integration then gives users more incentive to keep and use the stablecoin.
USD1’s Expanding Footprint
The new partnership with Aster DEX is part of our ongoing effort to integrate USD1. Here’s what we’ve been working on recently:
- BitGo Mint added USD1 to its institutional stablecoin management platform.
- MEXC integrated USD1 across Launchpool, Savings, and as futures collateral.
- World Liberty Markets launched as a DeFi lending platform with USD1 as the primary asset.
USD1 now has over $4.6 billion in circulation. Most of it is on the Ethereum (40.60%) and BNB Chain (40.47%) blockchains, with the remaining 18.48% on Solana.
The collaboration between WLFI and Aster DEX highlights a growing pattern of stablecoins finding unique applications. Rather than just trying to be listed on more platforms, USD1 is focusing on building connections that offer real-world benefits.
We don’t yet have full details on exactly how this integration will work or when traditional finance perpetual markets will be included. However, both teams have said to expect more news as the partnership progresses.
