Starting from January this year, the airdrop activity of USD1 x WLFI has been ongoing for more than half a year. So, what has USD1 done in the past six months? Looking at it separately, USD1 mainly focuses on two directions: trading ecology and payment settlement. What did USD1 do this year in the trading sector one ⃣ USD1 and Binance have launched WLFI airdrop activities, and users only need to place USD1 in their trading account to receive airdrop rewards. In the latest event, if the OI reaches 300 USD1 or above, you can also receive a bonus of 1.2 times. two ⃣ USD1 has also partnered with Bybit to launch trading incentive activities, further expanding the use of USD1 in trading scenarios through trading rewards and other means. From actual trading data, based on the trading volume of stable fixed coin trading pairs, USD1 has the third largest market share, with BTC trading pairs accounting for 7.6% and ETH trading pairs accounting for 9.2%. This means that USD1 has completed the transition from a "trading asset" to a "valuation currency". For a stablecoin, obtaining trading settlement rights is not easy, and it took several years for USDC to reach this point. What did USD1 do in the payment sector this year one ⃣ In January, Pakistani regulatory agencies signed a cross-border payment cooperation agreement with WLFI, and USD1 entered the payment agenda of sovereign countries. two ⃣ In March, the AgentPay SDK was open-source, allowing AI agents to directly hold and pay USD1, and integrating stablecoins into AI autonomous trading scenarios. three ⃣ In May, USD1 became the first native stablecoin issued on Tempo. Tempo is a payment chain incubated by Stripe, and this position is not given to USDT or USDC. four ⃣ In July, Zebec implemented USD1 payroll and physical cards, allowing employees to directly receive wages and expenses in USD1. This means that the infrastructure for USD1 on the payment side has been laid out. The three scenarios of payroll, cross-border, and AI payment are being discussed simultaneously, and the rest is a matter of time. Stable coin competition, USD1 finally returns to usage scenarios It took ten years for USDT to become a universal pricing system, and seven years for USDC to reach its position in the compliance mindset. And USD1 has only taken one and a half years to reach today. The competition of stablecoins ultimately boils down to the scenario, whoever can be used as a settlement unit in more places wins the leading position. At the trading level, USD1 has now stabilized, and all payment channels have opened this year. The speed of USD1 is unprecedented in the history of stablecoins. Finally, a bonus announcement: Currently, USD1 x WLFI has also launched a new round of Binance Square creation activities. Jiayi @ mscryptojiayi has provided USD1 and WLFI rewards, totaling 20000 USD1+600000 WLFI. Creators of Binance Square, hurry up and participate
