Trump’s World Liberty Financial Treasury Play: 10% of USD1 Supply Minted in Strategic Move
World Liberty Financial makes power play with treasury allocation—minting 10% of USD1's total supply.
Strategic reserve or market maneuver? The move sparks debate among crypto veterans.
One thing's clear: In the game of stablecoins, treasury holdings are the new chess pieces.
*Insert cynical jab here*: 'Because nothing says financial liberty like centralized supply controls.'
Boosting USD1’s adoption
The recent minting coincides with the launch of WLFI’s USD1 Points Program, designed to reward users who help drive adoption across exchanges.
The project explained that while stablecoins are essential for trading, payments, and DeFi activity, “users rarely see direct rewards for driving adoption.”
By introducing the Points Program, WLFI aims to compensate those contributing to the stablecoin’s growth directly.
Notably, this initiative follows WLFI’s earlier distribution of $47 worth of USD1 to wallets that participated in its token sale.
These initiatives are expected to increase market adoption of USD1.
Notably, USD1 has already seen adoption in institutional transactions, including the settlement of a $2 billion investment in Binance. The stablecoin also played a role in settling proceeds for Bullish Exchange’s IPO, highlighting its growing utility among major market participants.
