Stablecoin USD1 Gains Speed as $1.5B Expansion Plan Emerges
USD1 has picked up speed since it was launched in April. It currently ranks third behind Tether and Circle with USDC with shares of 60 and 24%, respectively. The fact that USD1 has entered the top tier of stablecoins shows its quick adoption and high demand. The supply growth strengthens its competitive position even more.
In addition, World Liberty Financial is striving to achieve more advanced strategic objectives.
