DeFi infrastructure provider TownSquare has announced a $100 million liquidity program centered on the USD1 stablecoin to expand its integration onto the high-performance Monad blockchain. The initiative is in partnership with USD1 issuer World Liberty Financial.
According to the announcement, the program is designed to provide a wider range of users with access to institutional-grade yield generation and cross-chain lending strategies. TownSquare focuses on building institutional yield infrastructure and brokerage services that span multiple blockchain ecosystems, with the new program reflecting a long-term commitment to expanding DeFi adoption.
This initiative follows TownSquare’s earlier collaboration with World Liberty Financial to deploy the USD1 token on the Monad network, an effort that also received incentives from the Monad Foundation. While the company has already launched cross-chain lending functionality, a dedicated yield-generating product remains in development.
The launch comes amid accelerating competition among DeFi protocols to attract institutional capital. The move by TownSquare and World Liberty Financial follows Circle's recent expansion of its partnership with Hyperliquid to strengthen USDC’s role in decentralized trading. It also coincides with the growth of tokenized real-world assets, highlighted by Grove’s launch of a $1 billion liquidity network supporting tokenized Treasury funds, including BlackRock’s BUIDL product.
TownSquare’s platform has secured backing from major crypto-focused investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Monad, Aptos, and contributors to the Solana-based Bonk token. The project’s team reportedly includes former employees from Coinbase, Meta, and Accenture, signaling a push to merge established financial strategies with on-chain infrastructure.
