World Liberty Financial's (WLFI) USD1 Stablecoin Surpasses $1 Billion in Market Cap on BNB Chain

The surge solidifies USD1's standing as one of the fastest-growing decentralized stablecoins in the crypto ecosystem and marks a major milestone for the Trump family-backed protocol.

World Liberty Financial’s (WLFI) USD1 stablecoin has crossed the $1 billion market capitalization on BNB Chain, showcasing rapid expansion for the Trump family-backed protocol.

Three consecutive mints adding up to hundreds of millions of USD1 took place within an hour on Friday, quickly increasing USD1’s presence on BNB Chain. When combined with the existing supply on Ethereum, the stablecoin’s total market cap now stands at over $1.02 billion.

The mints follow a 100 million USD1 mint on Thursday, and suggest rising demand for the stablecoin and a coordinated effort to deepen its liquidity on major networks.

Analysts believe this could be part of a broader rollout strategy to expand USD1’s presence in DeFi protocols, cross-chain liquidity pools, and trading platforms.

USD1 is the flagship asset of World Liberty Finance, a decentralized monetary network building a parallel financial system rooted in transparency, collateral efficiency, and open access.

Unlike traditional stablecoins that depend on fiat reserves held by centralized institutions, USD1 is designed to be free from custodial risk. It is deployed natively on multiple blockchains, with WLFI aiming to make it the preferred settlement asset in permissionless financial infrastructure.

The WLFI ecosystem has steadily gained momentum by appealing to users seeking alternatives to the mainstay stablecoins, which are often criticized for their opacity and regulatory exposure. In contrast, WLFI promotes decentralization in its stablecoin mechanics, governance, and ecosystem design, positioning itself as a foundational layer for on-chain financial freedom.

The scale and speed of USD1’s recent expansion on BNB Chain highlight a key inflection point. As major blockchains become increasingly fragmented and capital is spread thinly across networks, WLFI’s strategy of minting directly on-chain and fostering liquidity where users are active appears to be paying off.

Moreover, as stablecoin regulation looms in the US and elsewhere, decentralized alternatives like USD1 may benefit from growing institutional hesitation around centralized issuers.

However, whether this momentum translates into lasting market share will depend on WLFI’s ability to scale responsibly while maintaining the principles that have driven early adoption.

For now, the billion-dollar milestone marks not only a technical achievement but a signal that demand for decentralized monetary assets is accelerating.
