The post Trump-Backed USD1 Hits $5B Market Cap Amid World Liberty Bank Drama appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, USD1, has surpassed the $5 billion mark in market cap. This makes the USD-pegged coin the fifth-largest stablecoin in the market. It also comes in the middle of the debates surrounding the WLFI bank.
