WLFI Hires Coinbase Vet as Chief Business Officer Amid Expansion Plans
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has appointed Ryan Ballantyne as its new chief business officer. Ballantyne, previously of Coinbase Institutional, will lead global strategy and partnerships for the DeFi platform.
The WLFI platform is notable for its USD1 stablecoin with a $4 billion market cap and the WLFI governance token valued at $1.74 billion.
WLFI aims to expand into institutional treasury solutions and possibly seek a national banking charter, which raises unique governance and political concerns in the DeFi space.
