The name Donald Trump once again enters the world of crypto. Coinbase has announced the addition of the USD1 stablecoin from World Liberty Financial to its official roadmap. This means that a listing on the platform could happen soon, a crucial step for this highly publicized token.
However, the exchange specifies that the listing will depend on the support of market makers and the implementation of the necessary technical infrastructure. In other words, nothing is automatic, but the signal is clear, Coinbase is getting ready.
A few hours later, USD1 was officially announced on the exchange as listed and available for trading.
An USD1 Pushed by $205 Million Freshly Issued
Meanwhile, World Liberty made a big move this week by announcing the creation of 205 million new USD1 tokens, directly injected into the project’s treasury. With this operation, the total supply now stands at 2.4 billion dollars.
The majority of this monetary mass comes from a major deal: the investment of $2 billion from the MGX fund based in Abu Dhabi, made in USD1 as part of an agreement with Binance. A transaction that immediately places USD1 in the big leagues, as the stablecoin market is more strategic than ever.
A Project under the Trump Banner
World Liberty Financial doesn’t hide its political DNA. Inspired by the American president, the project is openly supported by his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who regularly promote it on social media. The team emphasizes its ambition: to make USD1 the fastest-growing stablecoin in history.
Users are encouraged to adopt the token through a range of benefits: rewards for trading USD1 pairs, staking rewards, integration into partner DeFi protocols, or even use through a dedicated mobile application.
The Timing Plays in Favor of USD1
The USD1 push comes at a time when stablecoins are seen as the next digital finance gold rush. Goldman Sachs anticipates a market that could reach trillions of dollars in the years to come, especially with the recent signing of the GENIUS Act by Trump himself, how fitting!
For Coinbase, welcoming USD1 to its platform means riding this trend while betting on a project that attracts both Middle Eastern capital and the political aura of a former American president. An explosive combination that is likely to polarize as much as it seduces.
