Trump-Backed World Liberty Stablecoin Added to Coinbase Roadmap

Highlights:

• Crypto exchange Coinbase has confirmed the addition of the World Liberty stablecoin to its roadmap.
• Treasury holdings of USD1 rocketed to a high of $548 million.
• Eric Trump acknowledged the announcement of the listing on social media.

The largest crypto exchange in the U.S., Coinbase, has officially included the World Liberty stablecoin, USD1, in the roadmap of assets added to its platform. This is an indication of a possible listing on the exchange in the future, with pending technical requirements and market-making support. The announcement was accompanied by a statement in the blog, where the company mentioned that if the deposits are made before the activation of trading, they may be permanently lost.

Even though the trade is not launched yet, Coinbase published the smart contract address to promote transparency. As per Coinbase, the process of listing assets has become much more rigid. The roadmap incorporates only tokens that have been approved to be listed. However, the involvement does not confirm trading, as some other terms of infrastructure and liquidity have to be met.

The stablecoin, which is backed by World Liberty Financial, has expanded rapidly after launching in April. This expansive growth seems to be driven by a strong institutional involvement. For instance, crypto exchange Bullish had an IPO allocation of $1.15 billion into USD1 and USDC. The adoption of USD1 by institutions is an indication of increasing confidence in the World Liberty stablecoin ecosystem.

World Liberty Stablecoin Supply Surges to $2.4 Billion

The announcement of the roadmap follows the firm’s disclosure of USD1 mint. They minted $205 million USD1, leading to an overall supply jump to $2.4 billion, which is the first major addition since April. The overall treasury of the project currently has a total of $548 million in its assets, with USD1 comprising 39% of the project.

The addition of Coinbase to the roadmap was publicly acknowledged by Eric Trump via his X account. This, in turn, reflects the close connection of the Trump family. The World Liberty has remained in the spotlight of crypto aficionados and political experts due to its high-profile backing.

The project has also been considering creating a publicly traded firm that will hold its WLFI tokens. This plan is part of a broader fundraising drive to raise $1.5 billion. Where critics question political ties, the growing adoption and interest continue to demonstrate the project’s rising popularity.

Transparent Process Shapes Listings Despite Regulatory Complexities

Coinbase has given priority to compliance and security in its asset evaluation framework. It cautioned that certain tokens in the roadmap might experience delays or even outright removals due to the failure to meet legal or technical requirements. As of 2022, Coinbase has already ceased listing speculative assets and only includes listed assets cleared through the potential listing process.

Coinbase clarified that not all listed assets receive the same treatment. Others, such as USD1, might be tagged as experimental to mark particularly high risk or regulation concerns. However, the company noted that the popularity of assets or the size of the market does not influence the listing.
