Huobi HTX launches USD1 stablecoin globally, partnering with World Liberty Financial to create a new future for decentralized economy
The launch of USD1 marks a significant breakthrough in the stablecoin sector.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsOn May 6, Huobi HTX, a leading global digital asset trading platform, officially announced the launch of the stablecoin USD1, becoming the first platform globally to support trading of this asset. This marks another solid step forward for Huobi HTX in supporting high-quality blockchain projects and advancing the development of the crypto ecosystem. As Huobi HTX’s latestfirst-to-market asset globally, USD1 has quickly drawn significant industry attention due to its robust compliance framework, transparent operations, and ambitious vision, positioning itself as a "new force" within the stablecoin sector.
Launched by financial technology company World Liberty Financial (WLFI), USD1 is a regulated stablecoin fully backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars, designed to seamlessly bridge fiat currency and digital assets while enhancing the efficiency and inclusivity of the global financial system. The stablecoin is custodied by BitGo Trust Company, the world's largest independent qualified custodian, and fully complies with U.S. financial regulations, providing users with a trustworthy digital asset solution.
USD1's Grand Vision: Disrupting the Traditional Financial "Old System"
At the TOKEN 2049 summit held in Dubai on May 1, Justin Sun, Global Advisor at Huobi HTX and founder of TRON, joined Eric Trump, son of President Trump, and WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff for a highly anticipated fireside chat. Zach Witkoff candidly pointed out that the current traditional financial system faces three structural challenges:
- Lack of transparency: Financial opacity still exists, making it difficult for ordinary users to trace the real flow of funds;
- 1.4 billion people are unbanked or underserved, excluded from the financial system;
- Inefficient cross-border payments, such as up to 9% costs for dollar exchanges in some countries.
The launch of USD1 directly addresses these pain points and redefines what a "stablecoin" can be—aiming to become the world’s most compliant, transparent, and trusted stablecoin. It will publish monthly audit reports and fully open its underlying asset proof system to institutions. Eric Trump praised compliant and transparent stablecoins like USD1 for their positive role in promoting dollar internationalization, and expressed confidence in blockchain technology’s ability to reshape traditional finance.
During the discussion, Justin Sun emphasized that financial freedom is the core value of blockchain technology. The launch of USD1 and collaboration with WLFI represent a significant step toward integrating DeFi with traditional finance, aiming to allow every user to easily access stablecoins via mobile devices and participate in the global financial system.
As of May 6, USD1 has reached a total market capitalization of approximately $2.12 billion, ranking 45th on CoinMarketCap’s cryptocurrency list, demonstrating rapid growth.

Powerful Alliance Ushers in a New Chapter for Decentralized Finance
The launch of USD1 marks a significant breakthrough in the stablecoin space. As a fiat-backed, fully compliant digital asset, USD1 is 100% backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents. By combining the power of DeFi with the credibility and safeguards of the most respected institutions in traditional finance, USD1 ensures strong transparency and security, making it a trusted choice for both institutional investors and everyday users.
From a broader perspective, USD1’s significance extends far beyond being just a new stablecoin. It serves as a key vehicle for WLFI to advance decentralized finance and bridge the gap between traditional finance and the blockchain world, and also represents a strategic move by the Trump family in the crypto space. As the global launch platform for USD1, Huobi HTX leverages its powerful ecosystem resources and global influence to unlock endless possibilities for USD1’s rapid adoption and application expansion.
