Binance cozies up to Trumps crypto platform with USD1 stablecoin links

Resumo

Binance has expanded its support for the Trump-linked USD1 stablecoin by adding new fee-free trading pairs with major cryptocurrencies, including ETH, SOL, and BNB. The exchange will also convert all BUSD collateral into USD1 at a 1:1 ratio, further integrating the stablecoin into its ecosystem. USD1, issued by World Liberty Financial—co-founded by Donald Trump and his sons—is backed by U.S. Treasuries and ranks as the seventh-largest stablecoin with a $2.7 billion market cap. The move follows Trump’s recent pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who was imprisoned for AML violations. Despite its growth, USD1’s supply has slightly declined since late October.

The world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, has expanded its listings to include more trading pairs tied to the Trump family’s stablecoin.

Binance announced on Thursday that it has expanded support for World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin by adding fee-free trading pairs for major tokens, including Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and BNB (BNB) in addition to its already listed Bitcoin (BTC).

The exchange said it would also convert all collateral assets backing its stablecoin, BUSD, into USD1 at a 1:1 ratio, within a week.

“The transition means USD1 will become an integral part of Binance’s updated collateral structure, further embedding the stablecoin within the exchange’s ecosystem,” Binance said.

Increasing access to USD1 on Binance

Zach Witkoff, co-founder and CEO of World Liberty Financial, praised the move, stating, “Binance’s expansion of USD1 marks an important moment in WLFI’s effort to make digital US dollar stablecoins available to people everywhere.”

USD1 is backed by US Treasury bills and launched on Ethereum and BNB Chain in March.

It has grown to become the seventh-largest stablecoin with a market capitalization of $2.7 billion, bolstered by a decision from Abu Dhabi’s investment firm, MGX, to use USD1 for a $2 billion investment in Binance in May

However, there has been no new issuance of USD1 for months, and the supply has declined slightly from its peak of $3 billion in late October, according to CoinGecko.

Trump recently pardons Binance founder

Alongside his sons, President Donald Trump is a co-founder of World Liberty Financial and pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao seven weeks ago.

Zhao was sentenced to four months in prison in April 2024 after pleading guilty to failing to implement an adequate Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program at Binance.

Trump said he pardoned Zhao after the Binance founder saw support from “a lot of people” who told him “what he did is not even a crime.”

PEPE’s TCT Model Distribution Predicts The Top Of The Rally

Crypto analyst The Composite Trader predicts that PEPE could rally to $0.004 based on its TCT model distribution, though it may drop to $0.0038 afterward. He notes that PEPE may have formed a "naked low," indicating weak accumulation and a potential setup for bearish reversals. While not a guaranteed scenario, he is monitoring lower timeframes for confirmation before taking positions. Another analyst, Sweep, suggests PEPE is days away from a major upward move, with signs of a market bottom. Despite a recent 3% drop to ~$0.000003764, whale activity—including a $3 million PEPE withdrawal from Coinbase—hints at accumulation ahead of a potential rally. Broader crypto market optimism, fueled by possible de-escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions, may also support meme coins.

XRP Co-Creator Arthur Britto Is Real, David Schwartz Says In Rare Comments

David Schwartz, Ripple's Chief Technology Officer, has publicly confirmed that Arthur Britto, the elusive co-creator of the XRP Ledger, is a real and highly private individual, not a myth or pseudonym. In detailed comments, Schwartz described Britto as a key architect whose ideas were fundamental to core XRP Ledger mechanics like its exchange functionality and auto-bridging. He emphasized Britto's extreme value for privacy, noting he has attended events anonymously and was even upset about a photo showing the back of his head. Schwartz compared Britto's unique intelligence to Mozart's, stating he arrives at brilliant solutions intuitively, without needing to verbalize the intermediate logic, unlike Schwartz's own step-by-step reasoning. Despite his absence from public life, Britto is confirmed to be "doing really well." At the time of reporting, XRP was trading at $1.4228.

Strategy Watch #3

Strategy Watch #3 provides institutional analysis of digital asset fund performance and allocation trends. Key findings show gradual stabilization in capital flows, with Bitcoin and ETH outflows improving from February lows but remaining negative. BTC ETF and DAT flows turned positive mid-March before moderating, while Ethereum flows followed more cautiously. DeFi TVL on Ethereum recovered significantly, nearing neutral by month-end. However, BTC CME basis yield turned negative, eliminating carry trade opportunities. The report also covers performance dispersion among strategies, a deep dive into quant trend following, on-chain vault yields, manager sentiment, and new institutional entries, including a $6B pension fund increasing crypto exposure.

Crypto’s CLARITY Act Sits At 50-50 For 2026 Passage, Galaxy Says

Galaxy Digital estimates a 50-50 chance that the CLARITY Act, a key U.S. crypto market structure bill, will be passed into law in 2026. The bill, which passed the House with bipartisan support, is now in the Senate Banking Committee. A planned markup was delayed until May, and Galaxy warns that if it slips past mid-May, the odds of passage drop sharply. Key unresolved issues include stablecoin rewards language, protections for software developers, and SEC commissioner vacancies. The report emphasizes that the bill is strong on policy but faces a tight legislative calendar and significant procedural steps. Failure to pass it by May could delay crypto legislation indefinitely, especially with midterm elections potentially shifting priorities.
