What to know:

  • Binance is expanding the use of World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin on its platform.
  • New trading pairs BNB/USD1, ETH/USD1, and SOL/USD1 will be available, and Binance will convert BUSD reserves to USD1.
  • World Liberty Financial is a digital assets platform with close ties to the Trump family.

Crypto exchange Binance is expanding the role of USD1 (USD1), the stablecoin of Trump-linked crypto project WLFI$0.1466, overhauling part of its stablecoin infrastructure with the token.

Starting Thursday, the exchange will offer new trading pairs — BNB/USD1, ETH/USD1 and SOL/USD1 — giving users broader access to trade with WLFI’s dollar-backed stablecoin, according to a press release. It also offers zero-fee exchange between USD1 and the two largest stablecoins, Circle's USDC and Tether's USDT.

At the same time, Binance will convert all reserves supporting its BUSD-pegged token (B-Token) into USD1. That process is expected to be completed within seven days. After that, USD1 will be part of the collateral backing used across Binance’s systems, including in margin trading and other internal liquidity operations.

USD1 is fully backed by U.S. Treasury bills, cash and equivalents, and is redeemable 1:1 for dollars. It currently has a $2.7 billion market capitalization, ranking sixth among stablecoins, according to RWA.xyz data. The token gained attention after a $2 billion investment in Binance from Abu Dhabi’s MGX was settled in USD1.

The move follows Donald Trump granting Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao a pardon in October, a decision that sparked scrutiny over the president's crypto business dealings. Zhao served a four-month prison sentence after pleading guilty in November 2023 to violating the Bank Secrecy Act.

Solana co-founder urges need for Bitcoin to adopt quantum resistance for future security

Solana co-founder urges need for Bitcoin to adopt quantum resistance for future security

The post Solana co-founder urges need for Bitcoin to adopt quantum resistance for future security appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is urging the Bitcoin community to begin transitioning to quantum-resistant security measures, warning that advances in quantum computing may arrive faster than expected. Speaking during a Sept. 18 session at the All-In Summit, said the accelerating pace of technological breakthroughs means Bitcoin should not wait until the threat is imminent. According to him: “We should migrate Bitcoin to a quantum-resistant signature scheme. This is my bet, and it’s because so many technologies are converging right now, and this asymptotic rate of AI and how fast it’s accelerating—going from a research paper to an implementation—is astounding. So I would try to encourage folks to speed things up.” Yakovenko’s position is unsurprising, as market concerns over Bitcoin’s vulnerability to quantum-powered attacks have gained momentum following companies like Google reporting advances in the space. Considering this, he argued that these major tech firms’ adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography should signal the right time for Bitcoin to migrate its security architecture. The Solana co-founder furthered: “My key for this is Google and Apple adopting a quantum-resistant cryptographic stack. This is the time to go migrate, because now the consumer side of it is effectively solved and you don’t have to kind of wait. So you watch where Google’s going.” However, despite Yakovenko’s warnings, industry experts remain split on the technological advancements timeline as some argue that breakthroughs could occur within this decade, while others contend that the risks remain distant. Regardless of when its implementation occurs, Yakovenko stressed that the technology would be both a challenge and an opportunity. He said: “For the general public, quantum computing is such a massive unlock in terms of how much we can process that it’s going to be as big of a wealth creator, if we pull it off, as AI.” Bitcoin remains resilient…
