World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and Aster DEX have announced a partnership that will use USD1 as the settlement asset for TradFi perpetual contracts on the platform, according to WLFI. The companies said additional markets are planned, including gold, silver, and crude oil.
The announcement states that TradFi perpetual contracts for commodities—specifically gold, silver, and crude oil—are planned with USD1 as the settlement option. WLFI and Aster DEX also said both teams are exploring deeper integration across their respective token ecosystems.
Aster DEX offers perpetual contracts designed to give traders exposure to traditional assets through a decentralized finance (DeFi) interface. Adding USD1 as a settlement option expands the stablecoin’s utility beyond transfers.
With the integration, traders holding USD1 can use it directly for trading commodities perpetuals without converting to other stablecoins first. For WLFI, the company said increased USD1 utility could translate into more activity across its ecosystem, giving users additional reasons to hold and use the stablecoin.
The WLFI–Aster DEX partnership is described as part of a broader series of USD1 integrations. Recent developments cited in the article include:
USD1’s circulating supply has surpassed $4.6 billion, distributed across Ethereum (40.60%), BNB Chain (40.47%), and Solana (18.48%).
The partnership reflects a wider trend in which stablecoins seek differentiated use cases through integrations rather than competing only on listings. The article notes that details on the full scope of the integration and the timeline for the TradFi perpetual markets have not yet been disclosed. However, both teams indicated further announcements are expected as the partnership develops.
