[Binance.US Denies Political Motivation Behind Listing Trump-Related Stablecoin USD1]
Binance.US responded to accusations from Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, denying that its recent listing of the stablecoin USD1, issued by World Liberty Financial, was politically motivated. Murphy had suggested on social media that the decision might be linked to President Trump's pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao last week. Binance.US stated on the X platform that USD1 and WLFI have already been listed on over 20 U.S. exchanges, including Coinbase, Robinhood, and Kraken, and were approved through its standard business processes. The company emphasized that the move was a commercial decision unrelated to politics and expressed regret over the politicization of routine business activities.
