The Trump-branded stablecoin is climbing fast even as meme tokens tied to his name keep losing ground. <\/span>World Liberty Financial\u2019s\u00a0 USD1, a dollar-pegged token linked to US President Donald Trump\u2019s family crossed a $5 billion market cap last week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That puts it among the five largest stablecoins, according to live data, while the broader crypto market deals with a sharp sell-off in speculative coins. <\/span>CoinGecko <\/span>data<\/span><\/a> show USD1 trading close to its $1 target, with about $2.6Bn in volume and a market cap near $5.0Bn on Saturday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Importantly, a Wall Street Journal investigation has\u00a0 revealed that a secret deal<\/a> signed in January 2025 gave an entity backed by UAE Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan 49% stake in the Trump family\u2019s crypto project. \u201cThe deal with World Liberty Financial, which hasn\u2019t previously been reported, was signed by Eric Trump, the president\u2019s son,\u201d WSJ said. \u201cAt least $31 million was also slated to flow to entities affiliated with the family of Steve Witkoff, a World Liberty co-founder who weeks earlier had been named U.S. envoy to the Middle East.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump-Linked USD1 Stablecoin Seeks US Bank Charter for Federal Oversight<\/b><\/h2>\n

The token went live in March 2025. It was issued by the Trump-connected fintech startup. Furthermore, it was backed by cash and US money-market funds.<\/span><\/p>\n

USD1 operates across several blockchains, including Solana, and is being pitched as a tool for cross-border payments and trading.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company has also applied to open a federally supervised trust bank. That entity would manage issuance, redemption, and reserves. This would place the stablecoin\u2019s central operations under direct US oversight.<\/span><\/p>\n

WLF co-founder Donald Trump Jr. promoted USD1 on Wednesday, calling it a US-built payments asset designed for institutional-scale use.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a post on X, Trump Jr. said the project is about building infrastructure, not chasing short-term market hype.<\/span><\/p>\n

USD1 just reached a $5B market cap.<\/p>\n

Built in America, designed for real-world scale, and adopted by serious institutions.<\/p>\n

This is what happens when you focus on infrastructure over noise. \"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\"\"\ud83e\udd85\"\"\u261d\" @worldlibertyfi<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/bdYfVxVi8J<\/a><\/p>\n
