Binance Lists World Liberty Financial’s USD1 Stablecoin

May 23, 2025 – Binance Global

Binance has officially listed World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) on its spot trading platform. Trading for the USD1/USDT pair opened on May 22 at 12:00 UTC. This marks a significant step for the newly launched stablecoin, just weeks after its April 2025 debut.

What Is USD1?

USD1 is a fiat-backed digital asset designed to maintain a 1:1 value peg with the U.S. dollar. The stablecoin is issued by World Liberty Financial, a fintech firm based in Miami, and is legally managed by BitGo Trust Company, a regulated entity in South Dakota. The goal is to offer fast, compliant digital transactions without deviating from U.S. regulatory standards.

Withdrawals for USD1 will be available starting May 23 at 12:00 UTC, according to Binance.

A Growing Stablecoin Market

USD1’s listing on Binance follows prior listings on HTX and MEXC. It now becomes available to one of the largest global trading audiences. Early trading activity shows rising interest. Within hours of the Binance listing, USD1 trading volume surged 35%, driven by both retail users and institutional entities.

One major catalyst is a $2 billion investment by MGX, reportedly settled entirely in USD1. This deal, announced shortly before Binance’s listing, has placed USD1 in the spotlight as a preferred instrument for large-scale transactions.

Market Implications

The listing creates new trading opportunities. Traders can now explore USD1/USDT pairs for liquidity or consider potential arbitrage between Binance, HTX, and MEXC. Analysts also noted early movements in USD1/BTC and USD1/ETH pairs, with slight price upticks and healthy trading volumes across platforms.

On-chain metrics reflect this activity. USD1 wallet addresses reportedly grew by over 8,000 within the first 24 hours after the listing.

Broader Context

USD1 enters the market at a time when stablecoins are becoming more central to crypto-finance infrastructure. With rising stock market volatility, digital dollars like USD1 are increasingly seen as a middle ground between cash and crypto. Some traders are even using USD1 as a hedge during downturns in tech stocks or while waiting out volatile altcoin cycles.

What It Means For You [NFA]

If you trade stablecoins or use them to hedge volatility, USD1 adds a new option—now available on Binance. Its fiat backing and regulatory oversight may appeal to users seeking transparency. For arbitrage traders, cross-exchange price spreads between Binance, HTX, and MEXC could present short-term opportunities. As always, verify contract details and monitor volume before participating.
