USD1 Stablecoin Explodes Onto the Scene - No Fanfare, Just Fireworks!

Quiet Launch, Explosive Growth

Hold onto your hats, crypto fans! World Liberty Financial Inc. just dropped their USD1 stablecoin like a stealth bomb, and it's now blazing a trail on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain without so much as a whisper of a launch announcement. Talk about a ninja move in the crypto world!

Trading Volumes Skyrocket

You won't believe this - USD1's trading volume has shot up over 6,700% in the last 24 hours, hitting a jaw-dropping $140 million just days after its sneaky debut. The market cap? A cool $128 million and climbing. And hey, the USD1 logo is strutting its stuff on Binance and CoinMarketCap like it owns the place.

From Testnet to Mainnet - The Timeline

Blockchain sleuths first caught wind of a USD1 smart contract popping up on Binance Smart Chain back on March 24. It looked like they were just playing around in testnet land, mingling with wallets connected to the crypto market maker Wintermute. Then, on March 25, WLFI spilled the beans about launching USD1, but kept the date and exchange listings under wraps. Fast forward to April 12, and bam! The mainnet soft launch hit the scene with liquidity pools popping up on Uniswap V3 and PancakeSwap V3.

Strategic Silence?

Here's the kicker - WLFI hasn't breathed a word about any centralized exchange listings yet. It looks like they're playing it cool, testing the waters and the infrastructure without making a big splash. Sneaky, but smart!

Trump's Connection Raises Eyebrows

Now, brace yourselves - Trump's got ties to USD1, a stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries, cash, and the like, with BitGo holding the fort as the reserve custodian. This has got lawmakers and financial gurus up in arms, worried about what Trump's got up his sleeve.

Congressional Concerns

At a heated April 2 House Financial Services Committee hearing on stablecoin regulation, Democratic Representative Maxine Waters dropped a bombshell. She thinks Trump might be gunning to swap out the U.S. dollar for USD1 in government ops. "Trump likely wants the entire government to use stablecoins, from payments made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to Social Security payments to paying taxes. And which coin do you think Trump would replace the dollar with? His own, of course," she declared.

A New Channel for U.S. Debt?

Ari10 CEO Mateusz Kara isn't buying Trump's crypto love story. He reckons it's all about creating a fresh pipeline for global U.S. debt distribution. "I don't quite believe in Trump's sudden love for stablecoin and blockchain," Kara stated. "The real purpose of strengthening the stablecoin market is to make the world a new, receptive market for U.S. bonds."
