WLFI’s $USD1 Supply Surges by 191% Following Slew of DeFi Integrations

Despite initial skepticism from the crypto community, World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin $USD1 has exploded in January 2026 to become Solana’s fastest-growing DeFi asset.

Off the back of critical Defi integrations and trading competitions, the Trump Family’s stablecoin almost tripled its Solana-based supply in the last 30 days.

What’s more, $USD1’s absence from Solana’s emerging lending markets suggests the Trump Family’s stablecoin still has room to grow. Can WLFI’s $USD1 eclipse stablecoin rivals like $PYUSD and $USDG?

$USD1 Gains Ground on $USG and $PYUSD

$USD1, the stablecoin launched by World Liberty Financial, is enjoying a parabolic rise in usage and penetration across Solana DeFi. After floundering for several months following its deployment on Solana in September 2025, $USD1 supply has spiked by 191% within the last month.

Remarkably, $USD1’s growth eclipsed that of yield-bearing RWAs like $PRIME and $ONyc, which are paying out generous APYs to holders on top of their stable underlying value. 

$USD1’s Solana-based supply is hot on the heels of rival stablecoins like $PYUSD and $USDG, both of which have been live on Solana since 2024 and benefit from widespread integrations throughout the onchain economy.

DefiLlama data indicates that $USD1 has become Solana’s fifth-largest stablecoin behind $PYUSD and $USDG. However, the coin’s growth is even more pronounced across the multi-chain economy, which is also benefiting from a $40M incentives campaign in collaboration with Binance. 

At press time, $USD1’s Solana-based supply represents 8.9% of its total market capitalization

WLFI Stablecoin Still Missing Key Integrations

Like $USDG and $PYUSD before it, much of $USD1’s prolific growth is attributed to incentives being run in collaboration with Solana DeFi apps. Key amongst these are campaigns with Kamino, Solana’s biggest lending market.

Alongside boosted yield on Kamino, bonk.fun has also fronted up $200,000 in $USD1 rewards per week for top traders, sparking trading volume in long-tail $USD1 trading pairs.

On the suit-and-tie side, World Liberty Financial also signed an MOU with the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority.

However, despite these developments, $USD1 is still relatively under-utilized across Solana DeFi. While its recent Kamino integration is a critical unlock, $USD1 is yet to appear on emerging lending markets like Jupiter Lend and Loopscale.

Traders Criticize $200,000 $USD1 Trading Competition

World Liberty Financial’s collaboration with bonk.fun and Axiom may have borne fruit for experienced memecoin traders, but network participants argue that the incentives are reinforcing negative feedback loops in the trenches.

Instead of rewarding the best traders, critics argue that the campaign simply reinforces malicious trading habits, with bundlers and copy-trade farmers topping the rankings.

Arguably, this isn’t an issue that is exclusive to bonk.fun, and simply represents the status quo of the onchain memecoin economy.
