Trump Family-linked Usd1 Supply Up $150m As Binance Rolls Out Yield...
The USD1 stablecoin added $150 million to its market capitalization after Binance announced an incentive program offering up to 20% yield.
The World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) stablecoin linked to the family of US President Donald Trump gained $150 million in market capitalization on Wednesday after Binance announced a yield program centered around the token.
The stablecoin’s market capitalization climbed from $2.74 billion to $2.89 billion on Wednesday after Binance announced its “booster program,” offering up to 20% annual percentage rate (APR) on USD1 flexible products for deposits exceeding $50,000.
The “first promotion” was designed to “help USD1 holders to maximize their rewards” and runs until Jan. 23, 2026, with passive yield for the bonus tiered APR distributed directly in Binance users’ earn accounts daily, according to the announcement.
The USD1 stablecoin is part of the Trump family’s growing crypto ventures, which reportedly generated about $802 million in income in the first half of 2025.

Binance has been launching increasingly more products, making USD1 a growing part of its ecosystem.
On Dec. 11, the exchange expanded support for the USD1 stablecoin by adding fee-free trading pairs for the leading cryptocurrencies and said it would convert all collateral assets backing its Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin into USD1 at a 1:1 ratio.
In May, USD1 was used to settle MGX’s $2 billion investment into Binance Exchange, according to an announcement by Eric Trump during a panel discussion at Token2049 in Dubai.
