Binance deepens USD1 integration with new trading pairs, zero-fee swaps, and a complete conversion of BUSD collateral, amid political scrutiny over its ties to Trump-linked ventures.
Binance has expanded support for World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin, tied to US President Donald Trump’s crypto projects, by adding spot trading pairs BNB/USD1, ETH/USD1, and SOL/USD1, and enabling zero-fee swaps with major stablecoins. The exchange will convert all collateral backing its Binance-Peg BUSD into USD1 at a 1:1 ratio within a week, integrating USD1 into internal collateral and liquidity systems. USD1, backed by US Treasury bills, cash, and equivalents, has a $2.7 billion market cap and was used in Abu Dhabi’s $2 billion investment via Binance. The rollout follows Trump’s pardon of Binance’s former CEO, drawing scrutiny from lawmakers and commentators.
