⌐◪-◪ → Another stablecoin is born!

WLFI just announced its latest venture into the stablecoin space with USD1 — a dollar-backed, 100% reserve stablecoin built on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.

Unlike algorithmic and unregulated stablecoins, USD1 aims to be the most secure and reliable option available — backed entirely by short-term U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents. The reserves will be held and managed by BitGo, the world’s leading digital asset custodian.

Co-founder Zach Witkoff emphasized that USD1 brings institutional-grade security and liquidity to DeFi, making it an attractive choice for both investors and institutions alike.

Meanwhile, looks like Sam Altman’s Worldcoin is in talks with Visa about launching its own stablecoin. Looks like the stablecoin wars are heating up again!

⌐◪-◪ → Is Trump launching a crypto ETF?

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) just announced a partnership with Crypto.com to launch 'Made in America' themed crypto ETFs. The collaboration will focus on creating ETF baskets of digital assets, including Bitcoin and CRO, available to Crypto.com’s 140 million users.

Crypto.com will provide backend tech, custody, and liquidity through its Custody Trust Company — an SEC-regulated entity.

This partnership comes amid controversy as Crypto.com recently reissued 70 billion CRO tokens, previously burned, which has raised some eyebrows among investors.

Trump has consistently shown support for Bitcoin and crypto adoption — proving that his pro-crypto stance goes beyond just votes. It’s clear he’s all in on pushing the industry forward.

⌐◪-◪ → States are embracing crypto!

Crypto is winning on the legislative front again as Kentucky passes the Bitcoin Rights Bill, protecting self-custody and mining from discrimination. The bill also exempts digital asset payments from additional taxes and clarifies that PoW mining is not a security.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma has passed the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act through its House of Representatives, aiming to set up a state-backed Bitcoin reserve.

This momentum aligns with Trump’s pro-crypto executive orders, and it’s becoming clear that crypto is here to stay — especially at the state level.

As more states follow suit, expect a wave of crypto-friendly legislation to sweep the country. The future of crypto in America has never looked brighter.
