Trump Family Enters Stablecoin Market! WLFI to Launch USD1 – Can Political Influence Win Market Confidence?

Source Tradingkey

TradingKey - The Trump family's crypto project WLFI announces upcoming USD1 stablecoin launch, potentially reshaping the stablecoin landscape.  

On Tuesday, World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), the Trump family's cryptocurrency initiative, officially announced plans to introduce USD1 - a dollar-pegged stablecoin fully backed 1:1 by short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents.  

USD1 will initially launch on Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC), with plans to expand to other public blockchains in the future. The stablecoin's reserves will be custodied by BitGo, the global leader in digital asset security, custody, and liquidity solutions.  

According to CoinMarketCap data, there are currently over 200 stablecoins in existence with a combined market capitalization of $230 billion. USDT leads with $144 billion in market value, followed by USDC at $60 billion.  

In this relatively saturated and oligopolistic market, new stablecoins typically struggle to gain market share. However, USD1 may prove different due to its powerful political backing - as evidenced by the complete sell-out of WLFI tokens prior to launch.
