World Liberty Financial co-founder Zak Folkman said at TOKEN2049 that WLFI plans to roll out its payments technology to unnamed Web2 companies with “billions of users.” The intended use cases include paying drivers, contractors and creators.
Why it matters
The plan would put WLFI’s payments technology in front of users through established Web2 companies, rather than relying only on direct adoption of its own platform. Folkman did not name the prospective partners.
Market impact
The announcement points to a payments and merchant-adoption strategy for WLFI, but provides no partner names or rollout timeline. The scale of any eventual adoption will depend on whether the planned integrations move forward.
