USD1’s market cap sits at $200 million — still small compared to Tether’s USDT or Circle’s USDC but notable given the Trump connection and the token’s use in MGX's $2 billion investment into Binance.
A $47 payout is unlikely to be a life-changing amount for token holders, but it has been enough to engage holders and bump social chatter around the project on X.
As such, the transfer comes as World Liberty Financial gears up to launch its own crypto wallet in the coming months, as reported Tuesday.

Small investors are buying bitcoin. For a rally to succeed, the whales need to join in.
Small wallets have increased their BTC holdings by 2.5% since October's all-time high while large holders trimmed 0.8%, Santiment data shows.
What to know:
- Bitcoin wallets holding less than 0.1 BTC have increased their share of supply to the highest since mid-2024 even as the price holds around the mid-$60,000s.
- Larger holders with 10 to 10,000 bitcoins — the whales and sharks that typically drive major moves — have reduced their positions since the October peak.
- The divergence supports choppy, fragile price action because retail demand alone cannot sustain rallies when big wallets are distributing into every recovery.
