Nearly a week ago, Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) annnounced the launch of the USD1 stablecoin but the absence of a listing date continues to stump investors. However, an analyst says the stablecoin will make its debut on exchanges as early as April 1, baring any delays to stablecoin regulation in the US.
Pseudonymous crypto analyst xHuai.eth took to X to predict a potential listing date for WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin. According to the analyst, the USD1 stablecoin may be available for trading as early as April 1 in line with industry conventions.
The analsyt disclosed that stablecoins are typically listed on exchanges within days of the annnouncement. WLFI announced the launch of the USD1 stablecoin on March 25 issued on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.
xHuai.eth disclosed that stablecoin listings on exchanges hinge on the completion of necessary technical steps. From the announcement, tapping Ehtereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Bitgo for custodial service indicates a completion of the technical steps.
Furthermore, xHuai.eth says that WLFI will be pressured to speed up listing processes to compete with USDT and USDC.
“With the announcement on March 25, the timeframe of March 31 to April 5 is reasonable,” said xHuai.eth. “April 1 is the most feasible date if there are no delays.”
According to xHuai.eth’s analysis, incoming stablecoin regulation in the US will play a role in the USD1 stablecoin listing. The WLFI has previously mentioned that the launch on exchanges hinges on “regulatory approval” for stablecoins.
The US is hurtling toward stablecoin regulations with the GENIUS Act and STABLE Act piquing the interest of the White House. With authorities keen on expediting the passage of regulations, xHuai.eth argues the WLFI will move to list the USD1 stablecoin.
However, a delay in the regulatory process could lead to listing in late April, a scenario that xHuai.eth sees as unlikely. Authorities expect stablecoin regulation to go live in the US within two months driven by full support from the executive arm.
Following the release of the full draft of the STABLE Act, Sonic Labs is abandoning plans for an algorithmic stablecoin. Other issuers are positioning themselves to spearhead the government plans to maintain the dollar’s supremacy using stablecoins.
