USD1: Bitcoin’s Native Stablecoin

In a groundbreaking milestone for the Bitcoin ecosystem, USD1 has emerged as the first native stablecoin integrated directly into Bitcoin’s mainnet. Launched by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), USD1 fills a critical void left by Tether (USDT), which recently discontinued its Omni layer support, leaving Bitcoin without a stablecoin until now. Backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries, USD1 offers unparalleled transparency through daily reserve checks and operates seamlessly within Bitcoin’s UTXO system, thanks to the innovative Bitcoin Thunderbolt architecture. This development not only restores stablecoin functionality to Bitcoin but also redefines its role as a platform for programmable money.
