🚨 I’m Storiesofcoins — this is a textbook example of how crypto is splitting into 2 worlds: infrastructure via stablecoins vs hype via memecoins.
💵 USD1 hit 5B USD while Official Trump coin is down 93%+
CoinMarketCap’s summary says World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin USD1 surpassed 5B USD in total value, becoming the #5 stablecoin within about a year of launch, while the Official Trump memecoin has fallen more than 93% from its peak.
🧠 Beginner translation
Stablecoins win when they feel like:
✅ boring
✅ regulated
✅ usable at scale
Memecoins win when they feel like:
🔥 attention
🔥 momentum
🔥 speculation
This headline is basically the market saying: utility is soaking up capital while hype is bleeding out.
🏦 The real catalyst: a US trust bank application
The article says World Liberty Trust Company applied to become a federally chartered trust bank. If approved, it would place USD1 operations including issuance, redemption, custody, and reserves under direct oversight by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Why that matters:
🧾 clearer oversight → easier institutional adoption🏛️ stablecoin becomes infrastructure, not just crypto tooling
🏛️ The visibility moment: a 2B USD Binance-linked payment
USD1 gained visibility after being used for payment in MGX’s 2B USD investment into Binance, as described in the article.
And when big money touches a stablecoin, politics shows up fast:
Elizabeth Warren raised conflict-of-interest questions around the transactionShe also contacted Scott Bessent and Pam Bondi about potential national security concerns, referencing USD1 trading on PancakeSwap and broader illicit-flow risk
🔍 My takeaway for you
If you’re new, learn this rule:
📌 Stablecoin growth is a regulation plus distribution game
📌 Memecoins are an attention plus timing game
USD1 hitting 5B is not just a number. It signals regulated-style USD rails are becoming a battleground, while hype tokens can still collapse brutally when momentum dies.
