World Liberty Financial’s $USD1 stablecoin recorded more than $1.6 billion in trading volume in a single day, according to figures shared by @worldlibertyfi. Spot markets accounted for about $950 million of Tuesday’s total, while perpetual futures contributed about $650 million.
Binance has added a spot pair for Ethena’s $ENA against USD1 and extended its USD1 rewards campaign to Oct. 30. Aster DEX now lists 25 markets that use USD1 as collateral, 15 of them new.
Binance has used incentives to promote the token before. An earlier USD1 airdrop campaign ran from May 15 to June 12, 2026, rewarding users who held USD1 on the platform with variable WLFI token rewards , according to Traders Union. The exchange has also listed other USD1-quoted pairs. In January it opened spot trading for LINK/USD1 and PEPE/USD1 , per Crypto Adventure.
What USD1 is
World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) is a stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial Inc., designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US dollar. It operates on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, and its reserves are reportedly composed of short-term US Treasuries, USD cash deposits and USD-equivalent instruments , according to CoinDesk. BitGo provides custody and infrastructure, handling issuance, redemptions and daily reconciliation.
Circulation has grown since launch. World Liberty Financial has said USD1 circulation has grown past $4 billion , as reported by Blockonomi. The same report noted that lawmakers continue to question foreign ownership links tied to the company .
The latest volume figure puts daily turnover at a sizeable share of that supply, with perpetual markets now a major part of activity. The rewards extension and new collateral markets suggest exchanges are still working to deepen USD1 liquidity.
