- The Chainlink network has attracted first-level investment from traditional financial institutions in the recent past.
- The integration of USD1 with Chainlink will increase the global adoption of LINK tokens.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a well-funded DeFi protocol backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, announced a strategic partnership with Chainlink (LINK) network to enhance the mainstream adoption of its recently launched stablecoin dubbed USD1.
Following the collaboration, the World Liberty Financial project will use Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to enable a secure and seamless transfer of USD1 across different chains.
“Chainlink’s battle-tested infrastructure delivers the institutional-grade security and extensive reach needed to deliver USD1 into the hands of millions across a growing number of active, on-chain ecosystems. WLFI’s partnership with Chainlink will accelerate and improve USD1’s utility for cross-border payments and will result in truly useful applications across DeFi and traditional finance,” Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, noted.
Previously, World Liberty Financial had collaborated with the Chainlink network to provide reliable data feeds to its AAVE V3 instance.
Market Impact of the Collaboration Between Chainlink and WLFI
The collaboration between the Chainlink network and the WLFI protocol will play a crucial role in the mainstream adoption of LINK tokens. Moreover, the WLFI protocol will enhance the established credibility of the Chainlink network for more institutional investors.
Earlier on Friday, the Chainlink network announced that the Fluid protocol has adopted its CCIP and cross-chain token (CCT) standard to enable the seamless transfer of assets across Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum.
The rising adoption of the Chainlink products will have a long-lasting impact on LINK price action. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $15.9 billion and a 24-hour average traded volume of around $477 million, rallied over 30 percent in the last four weeks to trade about $15.9 on Friday, May 16 during the late North American trading session.
