This milestone places it ahead of competitors like FDUSD and PYUSD as the fifth-largest stablecoin in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The token has gained institutional backing as well, including a $2 billion investment involving Binance and Abu Dhabi\u2019s MGX fund. USD1 is held in custody by BitGo Trust Company and is fully backed by dollar deposits, cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasuries. It runs on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and TRON (TRX) and is subject to monthly third-party audits, with zero-fee minting and redemption.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its momentum, USD1 has faced criticism over liquidity concentration, with more than half of the supply held by three wallets. Lawmakers have also questioned its political affiliations and suggested possible conflicts of interest considering the Trump family\u2019s involvement,<\/p>\n<p>Even so, Coinbase\u2019s listing is expected to drive greater trading activity and visibility for the stablecoin.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase has listed World Liberty Financial\u2019s USD1 stablecoin, giving the politically linked token wider access while raising both adoption prospects and regulatory scrutiny.
