Binance has taken a major step to boost USD1, the stablecoin issued by Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, by expanding trading pairs and replacing its BUSD-pegged collateral with USD1.
Key Takeaways
- Binance added new USD1 trading pairs including BNB/USD1, ETH/USD1, and SOL/USD1, placing the stablecoin in some of its most active spot markets.
- All Binance-Peg BUSD (B-Token) collateral is being converted into USD1, reinforcing the stablecoin’s presence across Binance’s liquidity and collateral systems.
- Zero-fee trading incentives are now live for USD1 against USDT, USDC, and on select crypto pairs for VIP users.
- USD1’s rapid adoption follows a $2 billion investment in Binance by Abu Dhabi’s MGX, settled in USD1, highlighting growing institutional trust.
What Happened?
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has made USD1 a core part of its trading and collateral systems. The stablecoin, issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and co-founded by former President Donald Trump and his sons, is now featured in several high-volume trading pairs. At the same time, Binance is phasing out BUSD-pegged collateral and replacing it with USD1 on a one-to-one basis.

Binance Expands USD1 Trading and Collateral Use
Starting this week, Binance introduced new USD1 trading pairs: BNB/USD1, ETH/USD1, and SOL/USD1. These additions give users broader access to WLFI’s fully redeemable dollar-backed stablecoin in some of Binance’s busiest markets.
Binance also confirmed that all collateral assets backing Binance-Peg BUSD will be converted into USD1 within seven days. The conversion will happen at a 1:1 ratio, integrating USD1 into the platform’s margin trading and liquidity operations.
According to WLFI, this transition strengthens USD1’s role within the Binance ecosystem, embedding it deeper into exchange infrastructure and enhancing access for hundreds of millions of users.
Zero Fees and Automated Trading Tools
To promote USD1 adoption, Binance launched several incentives:
- VIP Level 2 to 9 users get zero maker and taker fees on BNB/USD1, BTC/USD1, ETH/USD1, and SOL/USD1 pairs.
- All users can trade USD1/USDT and USD1/USDC with no fees.
- Trading bots (Spot Algo Orders) are enabled on the new USD1 pairs, allowing users to automate their strategies.
Trump and MGX Ties Add Political and Institutional Weight
World Liberty Financial debuted in March 2024, backed by Donald Trump and his sons. The protocol aims to offer decentralized finance tools while maintaining full U.S. dollar backing for its stablecoin through Treasury bills, cash deposits, and other equivalents.
USD1 quickly gained traction after Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX used it to complete a $2 billion investment into Binance, drawing attention to the stablecoin’s utility and reliability. According to DeFiLlama, the circulating supply of USD1 is now close to $2.8 billion, making it the sixth-largest stablecoin by market cap.
The stablecoin’s rise also comes after a politically charged moment: in October 2024, Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who had served a brief sentence after pleading guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act. Binance.US has since denied that the pardon influenced its listing of USD1.
CoinLaw’s Takeaway
In my experience covering crypto markets, this kind of deep exchange integration is a game changer for any stablecoin. Binance isn’t just listing USD1; it’s rebuilding its collateral infrastructure around it. That signals massive trust in WLFI’s model and opens the door for even broader use. The Trump connection adds a political twist that will definitely keep this story in the headlines. But whether you support or oppose the people behind it, the fact remains: USD1 is now a serious player in the stablecoin space, with Binance leading the charge.
