🚀 Breaking: Trump-Backed Stablecoin USD1 Hits $1.02B Market Cap Across Ethereum & BNB Chain!

The stablecoin USD1 from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto project tied to the Trump family, has now surpassed $1.02 billion in total market value — with over $1B+ on BNB Chain alone!

On-chain data reveals three rapid minting events recently on BNB Chain, injecting hundreds of millions of USD1 into the network. Paired with existing supply on Ethereum, the token’s footprint is rapidly expanding.

Analysts suggest this surge could be part of a larger strategy to boost USD1’s adoption across DeFi protocols, cross-chain liquidity pools, and major trading platforms.

Is USD1 positioning itself as a major player in the stablecoin ecosystem? Time will tell — but the momentum is undeniable. 💸

BREAKING: #Tether Treasury just minted 2 billion #USDT in two transactions on the Ethereum network (via WhaleAlert).

Notably, this is an authorized but unissued transaction — meaning these tokens will be held as reserve inventory for future issuance requests & chain swaps.

Optimistic Ethereum, now primarily referred to as Optimism or OP Mainnet, is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum focused on improving transaction speed and reducing costs while maintaining security through optimistic rollups.

Here's the latest based on recent activity:

Superchain Expansion: Optimism is pushing its "Superchain" vision, a network of interoperable layer-2 blockchains built on the open-source OP Stack. Recent posts highlight integrations like Unichain, with incentives starting April 15, 2025, and Soneium's growth strengthening the ecosystem.

Retro Funding: Optimism continues its Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF), rewarding developers and projects that contribute to Ethereum’s ecosystem. A recent call for applications for the next round closes April 27, 2025, emphasizing fair rewards based on impact, not marketing. Over 2 million OP tokens were allocated this month for dev tooling and onchain builders.

Performance and Governance: The OP token governs the Optimism Collective, a decentralized system driving ecosystem growth. As of early 2025, OP’s price is around $0.65-$0.69 USD, with a market cap of about $1.14 billion. Q4 2024 saw an 11.3% increase in total value locked (TVL) to $756.1 million, though price performance remained flat, causing a dip in market cap rank.

Open-Source Commitment: Optimism is doubling down on open-sourcing its tech, with 131 GitHub repositories and contributions like the OP Stack powering chains like OP Mainnet and Base. This aligns with their mission to scale Ethereum collaboratively.
