Trump Crypto Project Grows Stablecoin on Binance Chain
Trump-Backed Crypto Project Expands Stablecoin Reach on Binance Chain
Inside the Partnership
Re7 Labs, the innovation division of London-based hedge fund Re7 Capital, will apply its institutional-grade DeFi tools to help scale World Liberty's USD1 stablecoin. The companies plan to launch special USD1 vaults on lending platforms Euler and Lista, making it easier for traders to earn interest on their holdings.
Re7 Labs manages over $550 million in DeFi vaults across leading protocols. Their founder Evgeny Gokhberg stated: "We're advancing a model for stablecoin adoption that meets expectations of both crypto-native and institutional users" while working with World Liberty and BNB Chain.
USD1 Stablecoin's Journey
- March 2025: World Liberty launched USD1 stablecoin
- May 2025: Abu Dhabi's MGX used USD1 for $2B Binance deal
- Current market cap: $2.2 billion (per CoinMarketCap)
- Market comparison: Tether's USDT dominates at $158B
Despite attention from major investors, USD1 adoption beyond institutional deals has been limited. The Trump administration's expected stablecoin regulations could change this landscape.
Institutional Interest Grows
The timing coincides with Re7 Capital securing up to $10 million from Hong Kong's VMS Group - their first crypto investment. VMS manages nearly $4 billion for wealthy families and seeks "stable, repeatable returns" through Re7's market-neutral strategies.
| Recent USD1 Backers | Investment | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Aqua 1 Foundation (UAE) | $100M | Largest individual investor |
| VMS Group (Hong Kong) | $10M | First crypto allocation |
Why BNB Chain Matters
BNB Chain offers low transaction fees and high speeds, making it ideal for stablecoin usage. World Liberty aims to position USD1 as the dollar-pegged asset of choice across Binance's ecosystem. Binance recently saw regulatory pressure ease when the SEC paused its lawsuit against the exchange.
What This Means for Crypto Users
If successful, this partnership could:
- Bring more institutional funds into DeFi through regulated stablecoins
- Create new ways to earn yield on USD1 holdings
- Increase competition against market leader Tether (USDT)
As regulatory clarity improves under the Trump administration, stablecoins like USD may become bridge between traditional finance and crypto.
