Today my Twitter timeline was flooded with USD1, because its yield on the World Liberty Markets platform reached 36.82%, and the borrowing limit of USD1 on the platform is already gone, which speaks to its popularity.

In particular, I saw that @mscryptojiayi posted a question about the interview with @ZakFolkman on April 3, which helped me to reevaluate USD1’s entire ecological layout and future positioning. Now I want to discuss USD1's recent ecological layout, starting with today’s high APY, and how it challenges the status of USD and USDC.

First, let’s look at the current yield on World Liberty Markets, which has risen to 36.82%, indicating a supply shortage. The reason is due to large collateral amounts, and borrowing USD1 is backed by WLFI. The specific next steps are still unknown, but I have deposited 10,000 U to earn profits.

Since its inception, USD1 has felt like a golden shovel to me; its relatively high returns boost confidence and increase the adoption rate and number of holders. During this period, there has been a lot of FUD comments, but my personal view is that everyone sees it differently: those who understand enjoy the benefits, while those who do not are just watching.

In my last tweet, I wrote about Agent pay, explaining WLFI’s layout in the AI payment track, where USD1 is also a core asset. Recent announcements suggest that USD1 is not satisfied with simply competing against USDT/USDC, but aims to become the infrastructure for RWA (Real World Assets), AI economy, and on-chain TradFi and DeFi, building a complete upgraded dollar ecosystem.

1. Exclusive binding with Aster DEX, completely becoming the settlement layer for RWA perpetual contracts.

On April 6, 2026, WLFI’s official Twitter announced that all TradFi perpetual contracts on Aster DEX will exclusively settle in USD1, no longer supporting USDT in parallel. This means USD1 officially becomes the foundational layer for Aster’s RWA verticals, and it will no longer compete with other stablecoins. The main stablecoin under Aster trading will be solely USD1. The first assets to go live include:

$XAUUSD1 (Gold)

$XAGUSD1 (Silver)

$CLUSD1 / $BZUSD1 (Crude Oil)

More commodities and RWA markets will be launched successively.

What does this cooperation bring:

USD1 trading pair taker fees are as low as 1bps, with maker fees even at -0.5bps (well below the 4bps for USDT pairs), significantly lowering the on-chain threshold for RWA. At the same time, holding and trading USD1 can earn platform rewards and up to millions of WLFI tokens in monthly incentives. This is not a simple “listing a stablecoin,” but rather directly moving traditional commodity perpetual contracts onto the chain and making USD1 the only unit of settlement. Aster, as one of the top two perp DEX platforms, injects massive trading volume and liquidity into USD1, accelerating the scale-up of RWA on-chain. This cooperation can be seen as a deeply binding partnership.

2. Dolomite lending platform implementation; this high APY feels a bit like marketing for @Dolomite_io, after all, WLFI is the first web app fully based on Dolomite’s modular architecture, further highlighting USD1’s golden shovel function, which allows it to become a financial tool that generates passive income, forming an ecological closed loop of deposit → borrow → trade → reinvest.

3. Speaking of lending, it is essential to mention the first USD1 Morpho Vault on the Monad chain, which is quite an important point in the multi-chain DeFi layout and belongs to the new chain deployment. The Vault allows checking on-chain reserves, and combined with Morpho’s efficient matching engine, it offers leverage yields superior to traditional pools.

Reservoir is responsible for collateral management, SteakhouseFi curates, and WLFI provides stablecoin backing aiming to build a differentiated product of “stablecoin + professional curation + new chain.”

In these three aspects, USD1’s core advantages should be apparent, including its layout path. USD1’s exclusive RWA settlement on Aster + Dolomite’s yield lending + Morpho’s innovative Vault upgrade stablecoins to productivity (golden shovel).

Looking closely, these partnerships are not just simple listings like ordinary projects, but they infuse USD1 into the core processes of DeFi, allowing holders to genuinely reap the four major benefits of trading, yield, cross-chain, and RWA. Aren’t these the definitions of an upgraded dollar?
