As the decentralized finance sector evolves, new utility layers are emerging for stablecoins. No longer limited to price stability alone, these assets are becoming tools for yield and security. One of the latest and most impactful moves comes from a new collaboration between KernelDAO and USD1.
USD1 Becomes a Re-Stakeable Asset for the First Time
In a groundbreaking move, KernelDAO has partnered with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) to integrate USD1 as a re-stakeable asset on its platform. Through this feature, USD1 holders can now provide economic security for third-party decentralized applications and earn Kernel points in return.

Backed by U.S. Treasuries, USD1 is designed for transparency and reliability, making it ideal for such utility. WLFI emphasized that this is the first time USD1 will be used to secure external decentralized apps—a major leap for stablecoin functionality.
KERNEL Token Jumps 22% After Announcement
Following the announcement, KernelDAO’s KERNEL token surged from $0.18 to $0.22, a 22% increase in value. The price rally signals market excitement and confidence in the project’s direction.
In parallel, Korean exchange Upbit confirmed it would list KERNEL in both BTC and USDT trading pairs, adding significant liquidity and exposure for KernelDAO.
