Binance has expanded access to the Trump family’s USD1 stablecoin by introducing more fee-free trade pairs as the token gains traction on the platform.
According to a press statement, the exchange will launch new trading pairings on Thursday, including BNB/USD1, ETH/USD1, and SOL/USD1, providing consumers more ways to trade with WLFI’s dollar-backed stablecoin. It also provides fee-free conversion between USD1 and the two major stablecoins, Circle’s USDC and Tether’s USDT.
At the same time, Binance will convert all reserves backing its BUSD-pegged token (B-Token) to USD1. The process is expected to be completed in seven days. Following that, USD1 will be utilized as collateral backing for Binance’s systems, including margin trading alongside other internal liquidity operations.
USD1 is fully backed by US Treasury notes, cash, and equivalents, and it is redeemable 1:1 for dollars.
Binance stated that the conversion reflected a broader overhaul to its collateral architecture, identifying USD1 as “an integral part” of the exchange’s ecosystem moving forward.
World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff welcomed the growth, calling it a significant milestone for the stablecoin, which only started in March.
USD1, backed by US Treasury bills and released on Ethereum and BNB Chain, has risen to become the seventh-largest stablecoin, with a market capitalization of $2.7 billion.

Rapid Growth Fueled by MGX Investment and New Abu Dhabi Licenses
Its quick rise was accelerated in May when Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX made a USD1 investment in Binance worth $2 billion.
The role received more attention after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao seven weeks ago.
Zhao was imprisoned for four months in April 2024 for failing to install effective anti-money laundering measures at the exchange.
Trump later stated that he granted the pardon after hearing widespread support for Zhao and emphasized that the offense “is not even a crime.”
The announcement also comes as Binance has acquired three new licenses in Abu Dhabi, strengthening its grip on one of the Middle East’s most ambitious digital asset hubs and providing the exchange with a strong regulatory foundation as it seeks to retain institutional investors.
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market has granted Binance.com permission to operate through a trio of authorized businesses that encompass exchange, clearing, and broker dealer activities.
