World Liberty Financial Eyes $150 Million From USD1 as Binance Deal Boosts Stablecoin
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 5
Summary
World Liberty Financial is on track to generate nearly $150 million this year from issuing USD1, the dollar-pegged stablecoin it launched in March 2025.
Binance helped fuel that windfall through a promotional arrangement tied to the token, according to Bloomberg’s analysis of public disclosures and financial filings.
The venture was co-founded by Donald Trump and his sons, linking a fast-growing crypto revenue stream directly to the Trump family.
The projected haul underscores how stablecoin issuance has become a major profit engine for politically connected crypto businesses.
After a $50M insider loan crisis, can this new stablecoin prove its stability and win mainstream trust?
Can a stablecoin facing insider scandals and market risks actually secure a coveted US national banking charter?
Is a projected $150M profit built on solid ground or risky insider dealings?

Overview
World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin has quickly become the seventh-largest globally, driven by strategic market dynamics and a major promotional push from Binance. Binance's booster program and ecosystem initiatives, along with World Liberty Financial's large-scale airdrop, have rapidly expanded USD1’s market presence and supply. Institutions are now using USD1 for cross-border payments and settlements, highlighting its growing utility. However, the concentration of USD1 holdings at Binance raises concerns about market stability and centralization. The report also notes political entanglements and systemic risks, especially given the stablecoin’s backing by U.S. Treasuries and its connections to high-level political figures.
