The USD1 stablecoin, backed by Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has quickly become the seventh-largest stablecoin.

Launched just two months ago, it has grown from a market cap of$128 million toover$2 billion. The surge was boosted by Eric Trump's announcement that MGX would use USD1 for a$2 billion investment in Binance.

Most of USD1's issuance is on Binance's BNB Chain, accounting for over 99% of its supply. A smaller portion is on Ethereum.

In late April, the coin's market cap spiked 1,540%, growing from$128 million to $2.1 billion. The rapid rise led centralised exchanges, including HTX, to list USD1, with zero-fee withdrawals on the BEP-20 network.

Reports suggest that around 90% of USD1 investors are from outside the US, particularly Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

The coin's growth aligns with Trump's pro-stablecoin agenda, outlined in his January executive order to strengthen US leadership in digital financial technologies.
