Trump-Linked DeFi Firm Shakes Up Crypto By USD1 Stablecoin Launch!

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance platform based in Canada and linked closely to the Trump family, has launched its own USD1 stablecoin on the BNB Chain network. The token, pegged to the US dollar, looks to expand stablecoin adoption and improve liquidity in the DeFi sector. While USD1 is still in its testing phase and not tradable as of now, its deployment on the network has been confirmed by blockchain analytics firm LookOnChain, which identified interactions involving the stablecoin.

USD1 Stablecoin Launch Coincides With US Stablecoin Regulation

The launch of USD1 on the testnet comes at a time when stablecoins are gaining popularity in the crypto circuit. Their popularity comes from their stability in value, making them ideal for trading and payments. This move will help WLFI stand with the major trends in cryptocurrencies, as market players like Tether and Circle have reported significant profits from their stablecoin issuance.  Also, it is worth noting that the timing also coincides with discussions in Washington around the GENIUS Act, a law to regulate stablecoins issuance and trading.

The news of USD1 stablecoin’s deployment has already had an effect on the BNB Chain ecosystem. Soon after its introduction, Binance Coin (BNB) saw a 3.5% price surge, and the trading volume also increased. Other tokens on the BNB Chain, such as Pancakeswap (CAKE) and Chainlink (LINK), also reported a price rise.

How Will USD1 Impact Binance Coin (BNB)

The launch of the USD1 stablecoin is bound to boost BNB’s utility and demand, as it improves liquidity and offers more use cases for assets on the BNB Network. Increased trading activity and institutional interest could act as a driving force for the adoption of BNB-related assets. If successfully launched, USD1 might also push the BNB coin closer to key milestones, while also strengthening its ecosystem against other blockchain competitors. Let’s take a quick look at how the latest news has impacted BNB’s performance on the charts with a recent price analysis and a BNB price prediction at the end!

BNB Price Analysis: BNB Grows Steadily, Fails to Breach $640

In the early hours of yesterday, BNB showcased range-bound behavior, alternating between the $619 support and $627 resistance. The MACD facilitated a price hike twice, but could not succeed at taking BNB across the resistance. Eventually, around 8:00 AM UTC, a golden cross called for a stable price uptrend. The price uptrend did occur, steadily taking BNB all the way up to $631.47, where it found stern resistance. As the buying pressure continued, the RSI reported overbought levels. Despite that, BNB took another chance at resistance but failed to breach it, leading to a price drop. BNB traded at around $624.5 at 13:30 UTC.

At 15:45, a golden cross suggested a price hike as BNB spiked upwards, going past resistance and eventually finding resistance at $639. As the RSI forayed into the overbought zone, further upward movement was restricted as BNB eventually fell to find support at $633. As buying pressure pent up again, BNB tried to move skyward but was rejected by the $640 resistance. Eventually, by 5:30 UTC on March 24, BNB was able to spike up to $644, facing strict rejection at $645 as it slumped back to support at $637. As of the last update, Binance Coin was testing the $637 support.

BNB Price Prediction for March 25: Will $637 Hold?

As of the last update, the BNB price was on its way down. Also, the MACD featured a death cross right at the end, indicating a further price drop. For now, it looks like the $637 resistance won’t hold strong, and BNB will have some serious work to do in the second half of the day to regain its position. If BNB bounces back strongly, a $640 resistance break could be on the cards by tomorrow.
