The Most Rapidly Expanding Stablecoin Recently Is Actually a Trump Family Pawn
USD1, a rapidly expanding stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has seen its market capitalization surge to $3.37 billion, making it the sixth-largest stablecoin. Its recent growth is largely attributed to aggressive incentive strategies, including a 20% APY promotion on Binance and direct treasury-funded adoption incentives approved through governance.
Despite being listed on major exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Upbit, USD1’s trading liquidity remains significantly behind established stablecoins like USDT and USDC. For instance, BTC/USD1 trading volumes are substantial but still trail leading pairs. The stablecoin also experienced high volatility and temporary price deviations due to thin liquidity in its early trading pairs.
USD1 is primarily issued on BSC and Ethereum, with limited presence on Solana despite announced ecosystem partnerships. WLFI has applied to establish a federally regulated trust bank to enhance USD1’s compliance and institutional adoption. Backed by dollar-denominated reserves and custodied by BitGo, USD1 aims to serve cross-border payments and DeFi, though it carries risks including regulatory constraints and limited direct redemption access. The project has notable affiliations with the Trump family.
