I went out to travel recently, relaxed for a few days, and when I got back I saw nothing but good news coming from WLFI.
A couple of days ago, they first officially announced that Ryan Ballantyne has joined as CBO.
He previously worked at Coinbase handling institutional business; before that, he was at Deutsche Bank and Susquehanna. He has over 30 years of financial experience.
When someone at this level comes over, it’s basically aimed at institutionalization and compliance.
▪️Then I saw an even bigger development:
The OCC has granted a conditional approval—agreeing to allow them to set up the World Liberty Trust Company (World Liberty Trust Company, N.A.).
▪️What does that mean?
WLFI is going to obtain a banking license. Going forward, every USD 1 will be issued by a regulated bank, and things like reserve management and custody will all operate under federal oversight.
▪️The significance of this is:
Right now, BitGo is responsible for USD 1 issuance and asset custody. Once this trust bank is officially up and running, all of that will be taken back in-house by the bank itself—and that bank is under OCC federal regulation.
If the bank opens later, there will be clear rules about how reserves are managed and who is responsible if something goes wrong.
I haven’t moved my USD 1 investment planning at all—I just feel this direction is right.
This compliance-focused route may be slower, but once it’s on the right track, it’s steady.
There’s still a way to go before the bank formally opens, but the direction is already very clear.
In a bearish market, there’s basically nothing much to do—steady wealth management is my best choice.
This first half of the year, I’ve been using USD1 for financial management, and Binance’s wealth-management activities have come one after another.
What I mainly like is that it’s a bit more stable: you can just leave it there to earn returns, and you can also use it for trading directly when needed. For me, it’s really great.
Yesterday, I saw that Sister Jia is going to hold an event at the Binance Plaza.
From August 4th to 8th, these few days, I prepared 20,000 USD1 and 600,000 $WLFI
The玩法 is pretty straightforward:
If you chat in the plaza livestream about USD1 or things related to WLFI—talk about market trends, share your trading ideas, and even do chart analysis—she sometimes will jump in and randomly give tips.
The chat room is bilingual (Chinese and English), and from time to time it drops红包码. If you’re around, you can grab them.
It feels like most people nowadays fall into two mindsets:
Either hold stablecoins to invest steadily and earn returns safely
Or catch new themes and trade flexibly on short-term moves
Coincidentally, I saw that Binance has launched the SpaceX counterpart contract SPCXUSD1, so I’d like to share it with everyone!
It’s already been running for a few days now. You can trade anytime 24/7 and it also comes with leverage
After the US stock market closes, if you want to keep playing, or if inspiration strikes in the middle of the night
You can open it directly on Binance—no need to mess with any brokerage account, which is pretty convenient
Also, this contract uses USD1 for settlement, and you can clearly see how everyone is competing this year in stablecoin wealth management
I specifically compared it—Binance’s side seems relatively solid. With current-account interest that preserves principal and earns in coins, it’s around 8.5% (subject to quota limits)
Now the USD1 market cap is already over 4 billion, and it’s still slowly moving upward, which also shows that real people are actually using it
Right now, I personally just put USD1 into Binance wealth management to earn interest. What about you?
You were previously told about the Binance USD1 holding bonus WLFI airdrop activity. It’s still ongoing.
However, the rules have been updated—please pay attention!
To get the 1.2x profit boost, you must meet both of the following conditions:
1) Account requirement: Hold USD1 in a margin account or a futures/derivatives contract account.
2) Position requirement: For the USD1 contract trading pair, the daily minimum open contracts must be at least 300 USD1.
The platform will take an hourly snapshot of your open position size, using the lowest value recorded that day as the final determination standard.
Let me break down the two most common scenarios for you to compare: · Margin/contract account holds USD1, and the single-day minimum open contracts ≥ 300 USD1: ✅ You can still enjoy the 1.2x profit boost normally
· Margin/contract account holds USD1 (more than 0.01), but the single-day minimum open contracts < 300 USD1: ✅ You can only get the base 1x profit; the boosted portion is gone
In other words, it’s not enough to simply keep funds in your margin or contract account—you must open positions of at least ≥ 300 USD1 in the USD1 trading pair to qualify.
Apart from this rule change, all other activity rules remain the same.
For those of you still participating in this event, please compare your account status and adjust in time. Don’t let the new rule slip by and reduce your final earnings!
Recently, while I was reviewing the order book, I couldn’t help but wonder:
With all the stablecoin trading pairs on the market now—and besides the USDC that everyone has been using—what other stablecoin pairs are performing well?
Over these past few days, I specifically compared the order books of BTCUSD1 and BTCUSDC, and I basically have a sense of it now.
For BTCUSD1, the key price levels are all supported by large accounts’ limit orders, and liquidity is plentiful.
With those big orders propping it up, trades generally won’t run into slippage.
Whether you’re a large fund or just a regular player like us, buying and selling feels smooth, and the market feels more stable.
As for traditional USDC pairs, most of them involve smaller orders matching back and forth.
Let’s also talk about the trading costs everyone cares about. With USD1, the bid-ask spread is not only small, but it also has Maker 0 fees.
In terms of liquidity, order book depth, and trading costs, USD1 fully has what it takes to keep up with the mainstream assets’ pace. I’ll continue paying close attention to how it performs going forward ~
The above is only my personal sharing and does not constitute investment advice. DYOR
Have you ever thought that in today’s encrypted (crypto) market, some projects are already quietly building real revenue?
For example, WLFI—ranked by protocol revenue, it consistently places in the top eight across applications on all chains.
In the past 12 months, it has directly captured $105 million in revenue!
Operating costs for on-chain protocols are much lower in general. Unlike traditional finance, they don’t need to maintain a huge workforce and offices, so gross margins are actually quite high.
And its valuation is still sitting at single-digit multiples.
The “CLARITY Act,” they say, could be implemented any day in the next month.
Once regulation becomes clear, the chances of institutions and more people coming in to use these tools will be higher.
For projects with stable revenue, doesn’t that give them a bit more confidence?
Plus, the WLFI transaction market that WLFI and Dolomite jointly built is now live on Zebec as a super app.
In Zebec, you’ll be able to use their products directly:
➩ Lending capital pools with risk controls, plus efficient liquidity management tools
Deposit $1 USD and you could potentially earn up to a 5.2% annualized yield—with risk controls included.
Using it feels as simple as regular app-based investing, but the returns are a bit higher than many traditional channels.
When I look at projects now, I focus on two things:
▪️ First, whether it actually has real revenue.
▪️ Second, whether it’s truly convenient to use.
If both conditions are met, personally, I think this is a point in time worth taking a closer look.
Recently, there’s been quite a bit of trading activity around WLFI, and now Byreal is jumping on the bandwagon with a USD1 trading competition.
The USD1 trading channel just opened up on the Byreal platform, and relevant events are already lined up.
As you all probably know, USD1 used to mostly sit around as a stablecoin, but it's gradually becoming a commonly used trading currency on the Solana chain, with way more use cases popping up.
I noticed they’ve also rolled out RealClaw, an intelligent trading bot designed to give a 10% volume boost for USD1-related trades, plus there are LP incentives for core pools like USD1-USDC and SOL-USD1 (I heard the APR can hit around 30%), so liquidity in the pools should gradually improve.
Byreal is a Solana DEX incubated by Bybit, and it has already surpassed a billion in cumulative trading volume. With this event, it feels like USD1's trading activity will definitely be more lively in the short term.
For this event, they’ve prepared 1 million WLFI as rewards, running from May 19 to June 18, giving us a full month.
The participation rules are quite simple: - As long as you buy/sell any coins using USD1 or WLFI on Byreal, your trading volume counts; - Manual, bot, or agent trading is all good, no restrictions; - At the end, they’ll rank participants based on trading volume and distribute WLFI, so basically, the more you trade, the more rewards you get; - There’s also liquidity mining, boosting incentives for pools like USD1-USDC and SOL-USD1;
I think this event primarily offers more ways for agent users to participate, considering Solana's low transaction fees, using a bot for regular trades is pretty convenient.
Overall, it’s about increasing the utility of USD1 while also helping Byreal ramp up trading volume, which is a win-win.
If you want to join in, check out the detailed rules on Byreal. Just a reminder, trading in crypto comes with risks, so make sure to trade responsibly and manage your risk.
I recently saw that TownSquare launched a $100 million USD1 stablecoin plan, which seems pretty interesting, so I just wanted to chat with everyone about it.
Right now, the stablecoin space is basically dominated by USDT and USDC, which together hold over 80% of the market. It's really tough for new stablecoins to make a name for themselves.
USD1 is backed by WLFI and has connections to the Trump family. A lot of people are already using it, so there's a solid foundation, but just having that name recognition won't take it far; they need to bring something tangible to the table.
This time, they're putting out a whole billion to establish themselves by deploying USD1 across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Monad on multiple chains—not just on a single chain. They want it to be usable everywhere, keeping up with the current trend of funds moving across chains.
Before, only big institutions could play around with these types of financial strategies, but now they've simplified it so regular folks can get involved too. There are options for saving with interest, lending, and you can even leverage up to 10x, potentially yielding around 15% returns.
The strategy is pretty straightforward: first, attract institutions in, then share the profits with us regular players, gradually building overall liquidity.
Honestly, everyone is thinking the same thing right now; nobody wants to just let their stablecoins sit idle. Everyone's looking to earn a little extra on the side.
But let's be real, such high returns can't be reliably sustained. The crypto market is inherently volatile, and with leverage, the risks increase significantly.
The reliability of these returns and whether they can remain stable long-term will require some time to observe.
Overall, this is a new approach for stablecoins to tilt towards wealth generation. A billion in the whole ecosystem isn't too much, but if it becomes user-friendly and cross-chain compatible, it could gradually capture a slice of the market share.
Lastly, I sincerely remind everyone to participate cautiously. It's fine to dip your toes in with small amounts if you're interested, but definitely avoid going all in, and try to steer clear of leverage if possible. #USD1 #WLFI
"Binance's USD1 Position Airdrop Event is Back Again!"
"You know, from the previous rounds of holding events, it's clear this initiative is consistently legit. This time, they've shown genuine commitment, making it hard not to get excited."
"The project could totally fly under the radar, but they keep putting real rewards back into the community, allowing us USD1 holders to truly appreciate the value of long-term positions."
"Especially with that 1.2x boost, it encourages folks to extend their positions and stick around a bit longer. It not only broadens your holding circle but also helps stabilize the ecosystem over time."
"Looking back at their past events, I took a stroll down memory lane and started from the end of January this year. Binance has consistently rolled out several rounds of similar USD1 position airdrops, with WLFI seamlessly following each time, showing real dedication:"
"• Round One (January 23, 2026 - February 20, 2026): Total prize pool of $40 million worth of WLFI"
"• Round Two (February 20, 2026 - March 20, 2026): Prize pool of 235 million WLFI"
"• Round Three (March 20, 2026 - April 17, 2026): 135 million WLFI"
"• Round Four (April 17, 2026 - May 15, 2026): $15 million worth of WLFI"
"Now we’re already in the fifth round, running from May 15 to June 12, with $13 million worth of rewards totaling $WLFI , still distributed weekly."
"That's WLFI for you, maintaining this rhythm round after round. From the end of January until now, they’ve dished out several tens of millions in rewards, slowly getting everyone used to holding long-term and earning passively."
"After several rounds, the rules are pretty clear for everyone, no need for me to ramble on. I'm just gonna keep holding my USD1 and wait for the airdrop!"
USD1 Multi-Chain Deployment + AI Ecosystem Layout, A Comprehensive Overview of WLFI's Recent Developments
Big news — Trump has arrived in Beijing last night! WLFI co-founder Eric Trump also joined the China visit, and the family-associated company is pushing forward with AI-related collaborations in China. Meanwhile, WLFI hasn't been idle, steadily rolling out the USD1 stablecoin into various real-world applications. Here are a few latest developments: 🏦 1. USD1: Tempo's native stablecoin, multi-chain deployment is impressive. Let's talk about WLFI's 'main star' — the USD1 stablecoin. It’s the core stablecoin on the Tempo chain, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, compliant issuance, and it has opened up the CCIP cross-chain bridge, making on-chain transactions smooth and also simplifying cross-chain transfers.
In the crypto world, if we compare a public chain ecosystem to a city, then stablecoins are like the universal currency that everyone relies on.
Right now, many public chain ecosystems don’t have their own native stablecoins; most are borrowing cross-chain assets to get by.
With the launch of USD1 by WLFI, it’s like giving the city of Tempo its own official native currency.
No need for external cross-chain coins, and it’s also opened up the CCIP cross-chain channel, which stabilizes the ecosystem internally and makes transferring funds externally a breeze.
In the future, whether it’s for trading, playing DeFi, or holding coins, everything will flow much smoother, and users will be more inclined to keep their funds in their wallets.
Looking ahead, this should attract more real-world applications, and the day when this city becomes bustling is likely not far off.
Recently, there's been a hot topic in the crypto space. WLFI has hired the top law firm Clare Locke, specializing in defamation cases, to officially file a lawsuit against Sun. After going through all the public materials, I found that the key point in this whole situation is actually the agreement signed in black and white. At the beginning, Sun's organization received 4 billion WLFI tokens. Whether it's the buying rules, on-chain contracts, or the unlocking agreement signed by hand, everything is laid out clearly: the project party has the authority to freeze wallets and has also promised not to short or dump the tokens. However, later on, Sun publicly stated that the project had backdoors and was deliberately setting things up, which doesn't align with the agreement's content.
WorldRouter Launches with a Bang, WLFI Ecosystem Value Upgrade
Hey fam, good afternoon! The holiday is totally over, and it's back to the grind for us traders! Recently, everyone should've noticed that Doubao has started offering paid memberships. Casual chats are still free, but practical features like high-definition charting, in-depth analysis, and one-click PPT creation are now limited. If you want to use them, you gotta go for the paid membership. It's not just Doubao; mainstream AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude have long had paid tiers and usage limits. Clearly, those days of using AI completely for free are behind us. If you want access to more powerful features, it's only a matter of time before you have to shell out some cash.
Dual Events in Parallel + Multiple Scenarios, Breaking Down the Long-Term Core Value of USD1
Hey fam, good afternoon! The crypto market's been pretty chill lately, not much wild price action, so there isn't a lot of room for trades. I haven't had anything specific on my radar lately, just casually checking out on-chain data and ecosystem updates. I also took a quick look at the WLFI ecosystem and noticed that two events are still running in parallel. Binance's airdrop for positions kicked off in mid-April, and they're still in the normal reward distribution phase. Bybit is launching the 'USD1 Ecosystem Carnival' on April 22, with a new WLFI prize pool worth millions! Both sides are moving, the hype's still alive, and the overall ecosystem rhythm feels pretty steady.
