Velo announces integration of USD1 with World Liberty Financial

Velo, a PayFi infrastructure protocol focused on real-world financial adoption, announced a strategic collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) to integrate USD1, a regulated U.S. dollar backed stablecoin, into the Velo ecosystem.

The integration of USD1 supports Velo's stablecoin liquidity and settlement layers, advancing the company's mission to build a high-velocity, closed-loop financial network spanning consumer payments, foreign exchange (FX), and digital asset management designed for mass adoption.

Building a closed-loop PayFi network

Velo's PayFi architecture enables seamless movement of value across digital and traditional financial systems. By integrating USD1, Velo aims to enhance liquidity efficiency, settlement reliability, and real-world usability across its growing ecosystem.

This collaboration strengthens:

• USD1 utility within the Velo ecosystem, enabling stablecoin-based settlement and liquidity flows.
• PayFi infrastructure connecting payments, FX, and digital assets into a unified financial layer.
• Loyalty and super app distribution supporting consumer-facing use cases at scale.
• Velo's institutional foundation through compliance-aligned and production-grade financial rails.

Asia first, utility driven expansion

With strategic backing from CP Group, one of Asia's largest multinational conglomerates, Velo is developing a PayFi ecosystem tailored for Asia's fast-growing digital economies. The region's mobile-first financial behavior, high cross-border transaction volumes, and accelerating digital payment adoption make it a natural foundation for scalable PayFi infrastructure.

Velo's approach emphasizes utility over speculation, focusing on infrastructure that supports everyday financial activity.

Strengthening institutional grade settlement

USD1 is a U.S. dollar backed stablecoin issued by BitGo Trust Company, designed to meet institutional standards for custody, compliance, and transparency. By combining regulated stablecoin liquidity with PayFi infrastructure, Velo bridges traditional finance and Web3, enabling secure, efficient, and scalable financial operations across borders.
