Coinbase Joins the Party… 4 Months Late! 🚀

by

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round! The U.S.’s mightiest crypto bazaar, Coinbase, has once again proven that patience is a virtue-*if* you’re willing to wait four months for a stablecoin to hit its shelves. On August 21, they declared the arrival of the World Liberty Financial USD (USD1), a U.S. dollar-pegged marvel that’s less a financial innovation and more a well-timed PR stunt. 🎩💰

Built on the Ethereum blockchain, USD-1 is the crypto world’s latest attempt to mimic a bank account, but with more decentralization and fewer interest rates. Its listing on Coinbase? A major development for users who’ve been waiting longer than a toddler for their candy. Now, they can buy, sell, convert, send, receive, and store this digital dollar with the flair of a seasoned pirate. 🏴‍☠️

4-month old USD-1 now on Coinbase

While the move is meant to show USD-1’s compliance with U.S. regulations, it’s arriving just four months after its mainnet launch in April 2025. Four months! That’s longer than it takes to grow a beard and shorter than the average attention span of a goldfish. 🐠

Despite its tender age, USD-1 has already amassed a staggering $2.3 billion in market capitalization. One might say it’s the crypto world’s version of a prodigy-except instead of playing the piano, it’s just sitting there, quietly demanding your trust. 🤝

Trading for USD1 was rolled out in phases, starting with the USD1-USD pair. Now, it’s fully listed on the leading exchange, as if Coinbase suddenly realized, “Oh, we *do* have enough liquidity for this.” Or maybe they just wanted to avoid the embarrassment of a premature launch. 🤷‍♂️

Coinbase has warned users to transfer USD1 only through the Ethereum network, lest they lose their coins like a fool in a tornado. A noble warning, but one that’s about as effective as telling a toddler not to touch the shiny object. ⚠️💥

The official contract address? 0x8d0D000Ee44948FC98c9B98A4FA4921476f08B0d. A number so complex, it’s practically a secret society password. And if you try transferring it via another network? Well, goodbye, funds! Goodbye, sanity! 🧠💸

This move is a win for Coinbase, who’s now offering users a “exclusive trading experience” that’s about as exclusive as a buffet at a 5-star restaurant. And for USD-1, it’s a step closer to becoming the next big thing-*if* it can survive the crypto equivalent of a viral TikTok trend. 📱

Before this, Coinbase was busy listing USDC on the Base network, proving that they’re not just a platform-they’re a well-oiled machine of financial chaos. 🌀

Now, USD-1 is available for trading on Coinbase via iOS, Android, and the official website. Just don’t expect them to explain how it works. That’s on you. 🧠
