According to official sources cited by COINOTAG News on December 22, Velo, a real-world asset (RWA) focused PayFi infrastructure protocol, has struck a strategic alliance with World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The pact centers on integrating the regulated USD stablecoin USD1 into the Velo ecosystem, to bolster liquidity and the settlement layer.

The USD1 integration is designed to strengthen stablecoin liquidity provisioning within Velo’s on-chain rails, enhancing settlement throughput for USD-backed assets and improving risk-managed capital efficiency across the PayFi framework. WLFI’s regulatory posture is intended to complement Velo’s governance and compliance standards.

This collaboration signals continued adoption of regulated stablecoins in real-world asset finance, underscoring the maturation of crypto-payments infrastructure.
