World Liberty Financial Launches USD1 Stablecoin on Solana Blockchain (September 2025)

Why Solana? The Speed and Cost Advantage

Solana’s blockchain isn’t just fast—it’s blisteringly efficient, processing up to 65,000 transactions per second with fees under $0.01. For World Liberty Financial, this meant bypassing Ethereum’s congestion and high gas fees. "We needed a chain that could handle institutional volume without breaking a sweat," noted a BTCC analyst. Case in point: a test transaction of 10,000 USD1 tokens settled in 2.3 seconds last week.

USD1’s Reserve Structure: Transparency First

Unlike some opaque stablecoins, USD1 publishes daily attestations of its 1:1 dollar reserves, held across FDIC-insured U.S. banks. CoinMarketCap data shows this approach mirrors PAXG’s gold-backed model but with greater liquidity—already $47 million minted since launch.

Where Can You Trade USD1?

As of September 2025, USD1 is live on BTCC, Kraken, and Orca (Solana’s top DEX). Liquidity pools on Raydium hit $12M within 48 hours—a record for new stablecoins on Solana, per TradingView charts. Pro tip: watch the BTCC order book; their API shows tighter spreads during NY trading hours.

The Regulatory Tightrope

With the SEC’s 2024 stablecoin framework now in effect, USD1 avoids algorithmic models entirely. "We’re playing chess, not roulette," quipped World Liberty’s CTO during last month’s solana Breakpoint conference. This conservative stance may explain why Circle’s USDC recently partnered with them for cross-chain swaps.

Solana’s Stablecoin Ecosystem Grows Teeth

USD1 joins USDC and PYUSD on Solana, but with a twist—it’s the first with native institutional onboarding via Fireblocks integration. Remember when Tether dominated? Data from Artemis shows Solana-based stablecoin volume grew 210% YoY, hinting at a shifting landscape.

FAQs: Your Burning Questions Answered

How does USD1 differ from USDT or USDC?

USD1 combines USDC’s regulatory rigor with Solana’s speed. Its reserves are 100% cash (no commercial paper), and transactions finalize in seconds for under a penny.

Is USD1 available outside the U.S.?

Currently in 34 countries via BTCC’s global licenses. Notably absent: Venezuela and Nigeria due to local forex restrictions.

What’s the minting/burning mechanism?

Approved partners can mint/burn via smart contracts audited by Halborn. Each mint requires KYC’d dollars—no anonymous creation here.
