Binance announced it will launch the BTC/USD1 perpetual futures trading pair starting May 18, marking the first time the stablecoin USD1 is used as a primary settlement asset on the exchange. Previously, USD1 was only a secondary collateral option.

USD1's growth is supported by partnerships with other exchanges and DeFi platforms, positioning it to gain a larger share of the stablecoin market.
