Today, multiple cryptocurrency exchanges including Binance, Gate, and BitMart have successively announced the listing of the stablecoin United Stables (U). Previously, Huobi HTX had already taken the lead in listing U on December 18, simultaneously launching a wealth management activity with an annualized rate of up to 20%.
United Stables (U) positions itself as a next-generation stablecoin designed for trading, payments, wealth management, and an AI-native ecosystem. It aims to reintegrate liquidity scattered across different chains and assets. Currently, it has been launched on BNB Chain and Ethereum, with a cumulative issuance of 409 million tokens.
In the current competitive stablecoin market, United Stables quickly attracted community attention, primarily because it has gained the endorsement of two top influencers in the crypto circle—CZ and Sun Yuchen. After BNB Chain previewed the launch of the new stablecoin on December 16, the community noticed that CZ and Sun Yuchen successively followed the official United Stables X account, rapidly boosting its popularity.

On December 18, crypto blogger Australian Big Lion Brother posted that CZ extensively mentioned stablecoins in that day's AMA and hinted that United Stables (U) is a second-generation stablecoin. These signs have led the market to speculate that CZ may be deeply involved with the United Stables project.
Interestingly, United Stables' co-founder Athena Y also has a "Binance background." According to Athena Y's personal account introduction, she is the co-founder of the United Nations Development Programme's "Made in Africa" initiative and the co-founder of the stablecoin payment project Wello (supported by BNB Chain); the community uncovered another undisclosed identity: Athena Y previously served as the Executive Director of the Binance Charity Foundation (BCF), conducting multiple charity activities in Africa.
If CZ's support for United Stables (U) remains at the "verbal" level, Sun Yuchen is providing subsidies with real money. On the day United Stables (U) was listed, Huobi launched an Earn product with an annualized rate of 20%. On December 19, Sun Yuchen personally livestreamed with multiple KOLs to promote the stablecoin U, with the cover featuring an animated image of him and CZ holding "U."
The images of the two are exactly what they wore during government activities in Pakistan on December 11-12. That day, CZ and Sun Yuchen took photos together with regulatory authorities; CZ was appointed as a strategic advisor to the Pakistan Crypto Committee, while Huobi received a license from local regulators. Afterwards, the two were also photographed riding in a car together.

The Stablecoin of Stablecoins
What makes United Stables (U), favored by CZ and Sun Yuchen, so unique?
United Stables (U) can be called the stablecoin of stablecoins. According to official introduction, U is fully collateralized 1:1 by the US dollar and major audited stablecoins (such as USDT, USDC, and USD1). Additionally, U features real-time on-chain Proof of Reserves (PoR) and monthly audits. This structure not only enhances liquidity and reduces collateral asset volatility but also ensures users can always redeem quickly and transparently.
The total issuance of United Stables (U) is 409 million tokens, all of which are currently in circulation. According to DeFiLama data, although United Stables (U) supports both BSC and Ethereum, its entire supply is currently issued on BSC.
In terms of ecosystem integration, U has integrated with the vast majority of BSC ecosystem applications, including mainstream DeFi protocols such as PancakeSwap, Aster, Four.meme, and ListaDAO. Users can directly trade, stake, borrow, and provide liquidity on-chain. For wallet support, Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, and SafePal have simultaneously listed U.
United Stables has stated that "U is born for the AI era," but no specific project developments have been disclosed yet.
