$USD1 : A New Era in Stablecoins by World Liberty Financial

USD1 is a fiat-backed stablecoin launched in March 2025 by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar and backed by U.S. Treasury bills and cash equivalents.

With direct backing from the Trump family, USD1 brings an unprecedented level of political influence and regulatory access, giving it a distinct edge in the institutional market. It became the fastest-growing stablecoin, reaching a $2.1 billion market cap within weeks—driven by high-profile deals like the $2B MGX-Binance transaction.

USD1 also offers a zero-fee minting and redemption model, reducing institutional costs compared to USDT and USDC. All reserves are held with BitGo Trust Company, ensuring regulated custody and compliance.

Currently deployed on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, with expansion to Tron and other networks, USD1 is purpose-built for sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, and enterprise-level cross-border transactions—not retail.

While political ties create regulatory advantages, they also pose unique governance risks—positioning USD1 as both a disruptive and strategically complex player in the $238B stablecoin space.
