December 2025.
Binance has added multiple spot trading pairs for USD1, the U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), while announcing the full 1:1 conversion of all Binance-Peg BUSD collateral to USD1 within the next seven days.
The move positions USD1, co-founded by President Donald Trump and his family, as a core liquidity asset on the world’s largest crypto exchange.
Key Takeaways
- Zero-fee trading launched for BTC/USD1, ETH/USD1, BNB/USD1, and SOL/USD1 (VIP 2–9)
- Complete Binance-Peg BUSD collateral migration to USD1 starting December 11, 2025
- USD1 supply stable at $2.7 billion, fully backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents
- Major boost for WLFI’s Trump-backed stablecoin adoption and DeFi liquidity
- Seamless transition with no user action required for most holdings
News Update
Binance confirmed the rollout on December 11, 2025, introducing high-volume spot pairs with immediate zero maker/taker fees for mid-to-high VIP tiers.
The exchange simultaneously initiated the automatic conversion of all internal BUSD-pegged token reserves to USD1, effectively retiring the last remnants of BUSD two years after Paxos halted new issuances.
USD1, launched in March 2025 on Ethereum and BNB Chain, has rapidly climbed to the sixth-largest stablecoin by market cap.
Its reserves consist exclusively of short-term U.S. Treasury bills and cash equivalents, with monthly attestations published by a Big Four accounting firm.
Market reaction was swift: USD1 trading volume spiked over 400% within hours of the announcement, while on-chain data showed large institutional deposits flowing into Binance’s USD1 wallets.
Conclusion
By embedding USD1 at the heart of its trading, margin, and lending infrastructure, Binance is delivering a clear vote of confidence in World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin.
The zero-fee pairs and collateral overhaul are expected to drive significant liquidity inflows and challenge the dominance of USDT and USDC in 2026.
For millions of Binance users, the transition is seamless, but it also marks another milestone in the convergence of political influence and decentralized finance.
