World Liberty Financial: USD1 Whale Moves $600M to Binance

‍

An address holding $2B worth of World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, USD1, has transferred $600M in USD1 to Binance. The transfer was made over 3 transactions of $200M each, to three Binance deposit addresses, 0x346, 0x41e and 0xd11. Prior to the transactions, four test transactions of 100 USD1 were sent to each of these addresses and a fourth deposit address, 0x527. A fourth transaction of $200M could potentially be executed this week to this address. The address, 0x208, was initially funded with the USD1 from a suspected DWF Labs address, 0x81E, and still holds $1.4B in USD1, making them the top holder of the stablecoin.

The movement of such a substantial amount of USD1 by its largest holder naturally attracts market attention. As the top holder, any action taken by address 0x208 can have a significant impact on the stablecoin's perceived distribution and liquidity, especially given the sums involved.

The USD1 stablecoin was listed on Binance just last week on the 22nd, with the movement possibly linked to providing liquidity on the exchange. Others speculate that this address could be linked to the Abu Dhabi-based MGX fund, which recently closed a $2B investment into Binance, which was to be funded in USD1.

The timing of this transfer, coming so soon after the Binance listing, is key. Both potential explanations—providing exchange liquidity or fulfilling a major investment—point to the stablecoin's growing integration into the centralized exchange ecosystem and its use in large-scale capital flows.
