According to CoinGecko data, shortly after the exchange launched a 20% APY promotion for up to $50,000 per user in USD1 at noon today, the supply of USD1 surged by over 45.6 million tokens within hours.
This sudden increase pushed the stablecoin’s market capitalization above $2.79 billion, highlighting the impact of high-yield incentives on crypto adoption and token circulation.
USD1 and the Trump-Backed Connection
USD1 is a stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial, a project backed by the Trump family. Stablecoins are digital currencies pegged to a reserve asset, typically the U.S. dollar, and are widely used to facilitate trading, lending, and payments within the crypto ecosystem. The Binance promotion allowed users to earn 20% annual interest on their USD1 holdings, making it one of the highest-yield offers currently available in the market.
A real-world example shows the appeal: a retail investor who deposits the maximum $50,000 into the USD1 program could earn $10,000 in a year at the advertised rate, assuming the APY holds. This explains the sudden spike in token supply, as both new and existing holders sought to capitalize on the promotion.

The USD1 surge offers an important lesson about the power of incentives in crypto markets. While high-yield promotions can be attractive, they require careful consideration of risks, liquidity, and market behavior. Observing these trends helps participants understand how supply, demand, and promotions interact in digital asset markets.
