Aqua 1, a Web3-native fund based in the UAE, has made a major move in the blockchain space. The company confirmed the purchase of $100 million in governance tokens from World Liberty Financial (WLFI) on June 26, 2025.
With this investment, Aqua 1 aims to play an active role in WLFI’s decentralized governance and help grow the blockchain finance sector. The fund aims to assist WLFI in its efforts regarding stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and innovations in the financial system.
By investing in these initiatives, the foundation has taken a strategic move to bridge the gap between conventional finance and blockchain-based tools. WLFI and its partner organizations plan to develop new methodologies that will allow institutions to access tokenized real-world assets.
Aqua fund targets middle east growth
Aqua 1 brings its expertise in fund management and web3 infrastructure. The team will work with WLFI to create new products and increase access to digital resources. Their goal is to support USD1, the stablecoin of WLFi, and present it to global financial services. This involves using Ticot-It-It-and-Preasury tools and payment systems.
The agreement brings more than simply token purchases. Both Aqua 1 and WLFI will help start a new blockchain and distribute equipment to create a global platform. They will also work together to grow in markets such as Asia, Europe, and South America.
WLFI intends to assist in the construction of Aqua 1 and launch its investment tool. Known as Aqua Engine, it will support digital development in the entire Middle East. The fund will channel its benefits into new blockchain projects and focus on regions such as AI and digital infrastructure.
WLFI backs Stablecoin with U.S. treasuries
Aqua 1 intends to introduce the fund at a second trading site within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (AdGM) for investors. In a joint attempt, the two companies will support the launch of Blocklock, a tokenization platform. The new platform aims to bring ordinary assets into Web3 markets.
It will help institutions and assist in merging the traditional financial system with contemporary blockchain solutions. Aqua keeps investing in stage-3 projects and handles properties for long-term return. WLFI is developing financial instruments influenced by professional blockchain policy.
Their stablecoin, USD1, is supported by the US Treasury and held through BitGo, a reliable steward. With this partnership, both teams trust in the future where conventional capital mixes with a decentralized system. Their ambition is to create a safe and effective digital economy with blockchain technology.
