The USD1 stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial USD1 stablecoin has officially listed on Coinbase, which is one of the most trusted Bitcoin or cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. It is a significant step forward for the young stablecoin project that has generated a lot of attention in global markets in the mere months since its launch.
Key Announcement
Coinbase reported: USD1 (WLFI U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin) is now tradable on all Coinbase platforms, including Coinbase.com and the Coinbase app. The rollout is per usual of Coinbase, which follows a phased listing process of enabling transfers first, then enable full trading under liquidity conditions.
About USD1
USD1 was introduced in March 2025, a 1:1 dollar-pegged stablecoin, which is supposed to be equal to the U.S. dollar. It is supported by a pool of U.S. treasuries, cash reserves and similar assets that get audited for regular transparency.
This places USD1 directly against other industry giants such as USDC (Circle/Coinbase) and USDT (Tether). WLFI will be a key-source of USD1 in payment, remittances, and decentralized finance (DeFi) use cases by providing a robust degree of compliance and the stability of the dollar.
Supply Growth and Recent Developments
The supply of USD1 increased in August 2025 when the currency minted looked to the tune of $205 million, and the total supply stood at about $2.4 billion. The growth is due to increased demand as well as institutional support.
Notably, USD1 has also been used in large-scale financial deals — including a high-profile transaction where Abu Dhabi-backed MGX planned a multibillion-dollar stake in Binance, facilitated in part by USD1 liquidity.
Why Coinbase Listing Matters
Coinbase’s listing is more than symbolic. As one of the most regulated and user-friendly crypto exchanges in the U.S. and globally, Coinbase provides instant credibility and mass accessibility.
This means:
- Broader liquidity for USD1.
- Easier retail and institutional adoption.
- Recognition alongside established stablecoins USDC and USDT.
Coinbase has also warned traders to be mindful of USD1’s ERC-20 Ethereum token format, as it could be confused with versions on other networks.
Regulatory Context
The listing is made after newly evident U.S. crypto policy. In July 2025, previous President Donald Trump authorized the GENIUS Act, making a market-based regulation of stablecoins and other digital assets.
This legislation promises to break down the barriers opening the door to U.S.-based stablecoin projects like WLFI, as well as assuring regulators and investors that there are safeguards in place.
Geopolitical and Ethical Considerations
Although it has gained momentum quickly, USD1 has not avoided the evaluation. The project has many connections with the Trump family, which casts doubts on the overlap of business, politics, and public policy.
Critics say USD1 would erase boundaries between government and the market, more so as it would also be involved in making international transactions. Nevertheless, its proponents believe that a robust demand is an indication that the market is being driven by the utility and liquidity rather than politics.
Market Implications
The Coinbase listing of USD1 is indicative of an industry-wide change in the stablecoin realm:
The high rivalry with incumbents (USDT & USDC).
New liquidity sources to traders, DeFi platforms and remittance services.
Even more embedded in the mainstream crypto markets
With such adoption, USD1 could rank as one of the premier stablecoins with extensive applications beyond the trading market in real-life payments, decentralized fi at and global payments.
What’s Next for USD1?
World Liberty Financial has nodded towards the following future features:
The expediencies of not holding or not using USD1 in the form of a reward program.
DeFi integrations, to provide lending, borrowing and yield generating products to users.
Staking/yielding products to target USDC interest-earning accounts.
As circulation continues to expand, and today it has a listing on Coinbase, USD1 is shaping to appeal to its circulation among a broader range of market actors, both retail and institutional.
Conclusion
The addition of USD1 to the Coinbase listing is a milestone event to World Liberty Financial and the future of stablecoins. With reserves in dollars, portability under fresh American laws and global demand acting as advantages, USD1 is proving to be a dominant player in the battle of stablecoins.
