USD1 Stablecoin Hits $3 Billion Market Cap Milestone

On Christmas Day 2025, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the decentralized finance (DeFi) project backed by the Trump family, announced a major achievement: its USD1 stablecoin has surpassed a $3 billion market capitalization.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the official @worldlibertyfi account celebrated the news, stating: "USD1 market cap has surpassed $3B. This is a big moment for our team and WLFI community. But milestones aren’t the goal — building the future of financial rails is. And we are just getting started." 🦅☝️📈

USD1 is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin designed for institutional and everyday use, backed 1:1 by reserves held by custodian BitGo, primarily in U.S. government money market funds and cash equivalents. Launched as part of WLFI's ecosystem in 2025, it has seen rapid adoption through integrations on major platforms like Binance (including high-yield earning products and trading competitions), as well as DeFi chains such as Solana, Monad, and others.

The project, co-founded with involvement from Donald Trump (listed as "chief crypto advocate") and his sons, aims to promote accessible DeFi lending, borrowing, and payments while emphasizing U.S. dollar dominance in crypto. Recent expansions include new spot trading pairs on Binance and incentives to boost liquidity.

While WLFI has faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest and regulatory concerns due to its political ties, the USD1 milestone underscores growing traction in a competitive stablecoin market dominated by players like USDT and USDC.

As the team notes, this is just the beginning for their vision of reinventing financial infrastructure. Community reactions were mixed, with enthusiasm from supporters and calls from some holders for updates on the tradable $WLFI governance token unlock.
