SINGAPORE, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has officially announced the listing of the USD1 stablecoin, becoming the first platform worldwide to support trading of this asset. This milestone underscores HTX's ongoing commitment to supporting high-quality blockchain projects and advancing the cryptocurrency ecosystem. USD1, a compliant stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. The stablecoin is custodied by BitGo Trust Company, ensuring full compliance with US financial regulatory standards and providing users with a reliable digital asset solution.

USD1's Vision: Disrupting Legacy Financial Systems

During TOKEN 2049, Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX and Founder of TRON engaged in a discussion with Eric Trump, son of the US President, and WLFI Co-founder Zach Witkoff. Zach directly addressed three fundamental challenges within the traditional financial system:

• Lack of Transparency in Traditional Finance
• Financial Exclusion of a Significant Global Population
• Inefficient Cross-Border Payment Processes

The introduction of USD1 directly addresses these issues, aiming to redefine the concept of stablecoin. The goal for USD1 is to become the most compliant, transparent, and trustworthy stablecoin globally, evidenced by monthly audit reports and complete openness regarding its underlying asset reserves for institutional scrutiny. Eric Trump lauded the proactive role of compliant and transparent stablecoins like USD1 in promoting the internationalization of the US dollar and expressed optimism about the transformative potential of blockchain technology in reshaping traditional finance.

Justin emphasized that financial freedom is a core tenet of blockchain technology. The launch of USD1 and the collaboration with WLFI represent a significant step towards the convergence of DeFi and TraFi, with the aim of enabling every user to effortlessly utilize stablecoins via their mobile devices and participate in the global financial system.

As of May 6, USD1 has achieved a total market capitalization of approximately $2.12 billion, ranking prominently at 45th on CoinMarketCap, demonstrating rapid growth.
