Today, the Trump familys DeFi project World Liberty Financial (WLFI for short) officially released a tweet, openly supporting the BSC construction culture mascot Meme coin $B BUILDon, and purchased about $25,000 of $B. As soon as the news came out, the market was in an uproar, and the token market value soared from 40 million to 140 million in 20 minutes, and is now quoted at 180 million US dollars.
This is not only the first time that WLFI has publicly supported a MemeCoin, but also hides a clear logical chain. From WLFI, USD 1, Fourmeme, Binance Alpha, to BNB Chains stable asset strategy, the narrative of using Meme to advertise stablecoins is taking shape rapidly.
Buildon received strong endorsement from Binance Alpha + WLFI within a week
In fact, $B is not a new coin. It was first released on BNB Chain through the Meme Launchpad platform Fourmeme in April this year.
As early as the beginning of April, clues about $B were already hidden in the picture of Fourmemes tweet, and the caption of this X tweet was Through the Meme Forest, the final clue is waiting.
The initial binding trading pair was BNB, with a market value ranging from 2.5 million to 5 million US dollars. Although the market value was not low, it did not attract much attention in the early stage due to the average trading activity.
Buildon reached a turning point in mid-May. On May 15, the BUILDon project officially announced that $USD1 would be added as a core trading pair. This is a structural transformation and the first step for $B to begin linking with the WLFI ecosystem.
From that moment on, $Bs narrative changed from the BNBCHAIN mascot to a core token bound to USD1, and began to take over the liquidity of USD1, laying the groundwork for greater cooperation in the future.
On May 17, two days after adding the USD1 trading pair, BUILDon announced that it would co-organize a USD1 trading competition with the Fourmeme platform, with a prize of up to 200,000 US dollars, and the prizes would be provided by the BUILDon project.
BUILDon stated in the event details that the event is to become the first on-chain project to fully support and access the USD1 stablecoin, and will actively respond to BNB Chains mission to promote USD1.
The data also confirmed this. During the event in the next few days, $B accounted for more than 50% of the $USD1 trading volume on the entire chain, becoming the de facto main USD1 pool.
Four days later, BUILDon was launched on Binance Alpha, along with $MERL and $TGT. However, when Binance officially released this tweet, the link below led directly to the trading page of $B. However, the market reaction was mediocre, and it received far less attention than tokens such as MERL, and the price only rose by at most 50%.
This morning, WLFI officially released a statement on the social platform to support the Meme project $B, and completed the token purchase operation through the on-chain address. After the news was released, the market price of $B rose rapidly, and its market value rose from about 40 million US dollars to about 150 million US dollars in a short period of time. The trading volume increased significantly, becoming one of the most popular Meme projects on the BNB Chain.
The USD1 stablecoin launched by WLFI in cooperation with Binance currently has a total circulation of more than 2.13 billion coins, of which more than 90% are deployed on BNB Chain; and among all its non-stablecoin trading pairs, $Bs trading volume has long dominated, accounting for more than 90% in some periods.
USD1, which is under regulatory scrutiny, and Trump and CZ’s $2 billion conspiracy
On May 22, according to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, the stablecoin GENIUS Act passed the debate motion with 69 votes in favor and 31 votes against, and entered the revision process. The bill may become the first federal-level stablecoin regulatory framework in the United States, and is generally believed by the industry to be likely to reshape the entire stablecoin market.
But before that, the GENIUS Act was fiercely blocked by Democrats during its first Senate vote.
On May 9, the U.S. Senate rejected the bill, and Democrats collectively rejected the bills advancement motion. Democrats demanded the inclusion of clear clauses prohibiting administrative officials, including President Trump and his family members, from holding or trading cryptocurrencies, and strengthening anti-corruption clauses.
Two days ago, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren also said, “Trump has used his stablecoin to reach a $2 billion deal with a suspicious fund in the UAE. The Senate will vote on the GENIUS Act, an encryption bill that will make it easier for the president to commit fraud. If we don’t solve this problem, no senator should vote for it.”
Democrats earliest questions about Trumps interests came from a report in the Wall Street Journal.
On March 13, 2025, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that the Trump family was negotiating to acquire a large number of shares in Binance.US, but CZ strongly denied it. Bloomberg then published an article saying that they were very sure that the sources of some of the content were very reliable, and quoted four anonymous people who knew the inside story, including that the two sides would cooperate to launch a stablecoin, which is the USD1 we see now.
Despite strong denials from both parties, USD1’s interaction with Binance still reflects the close relationship between the two.
On May 1, according to CoinDesk, Eric Trump, the second son of US President Donald Trump, said that the US dollar stablecoin (USD1) issued by World Liberty Financial has been officially selected as the official stablecoin to complete MGXs $2 billion investment in Binance.
In March this year, Abu Dhabi-based investment company MGX announced that it would invest $2 billion to purchase shares in Binance. It is reported that this investment represents MGXs first foray into the field of cryptocurrency and blockchain, acquiring a minority stake in Binance, but at that time, no one knew the specific channels for investing in Binance.
At the end of April, WLFI and CZ’s official social media accounts posted photos of the three co-founders of WLFI meeting with CZ in Abu Dhabi, saying that the discussions included how to expand global adoption, develop new standards, and push cryptocurrencies to new levels.
Interestingly, a month ago on March 21, Trump’s “Crypto Czar” David Sacks also met with Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Board of MGX and National Security Advisor of the UAE, to discuss the transformative impact of AI on various fields, the expanding role of digital currencies in reshaping the financial system, and the investment opportunities that emerge when they merge.
Although there is no more confirmed news, the frequent interaction between WLFI and Binance has indeed caused a lot of speculation from the crypto community. Some KOLs even broke the rumor that Binance will start BNB and USD1 to issue new WLFI in the near future. Of course, the rumor has not been confirmed.
Looking back, the interaction between WLFI, USD 1 and Binance is not a whim. The Trump family has been interested in crypto trading platforms led by Binance for a long time. A closer look will reveal that a crypto trading platform is the only missing Crypto business in the Trump familys crypto empire. Perhaps, $B is just the beginning of this $2 billion conspiracy.
