Last night, I watched sister Jiayi @mscryptojiayi interview WLFI co-founder @zakfolkman, and I suddenly had some new thoughts about USD1.

It's not that Wall Street is all here, but that they finally have a real door to get in! In the past, when talking about institutional entry, most of it was just standing at the door taking photos, buying ETFs, adjusting positions, posting on social media, and then leaving—people never really got inside.

This time, with BitGo Mint supporting USD1 institutional minting and redemption, it's different. Institutions can directly subscribe, redeem, and transfer within their familiar custody systems. That’s the real entry point.

Look at @BinanceWallet, which already uses USD1 as collateral and settlement currency for BTC, ETH, SOL. It’s gradually positioning itself where the money should be.

Compared to USDT and USDC, USD1’s path is completely different. USDT and USDC rely on massive reserves to compete fiercely in the current market, while USD1 focuses on building a compliant foundation for institutions and is already laying out plans for the AI era.

What excites me most is AI payments. In the future, when AI handles trading, payments, and decision-making on its own, what’s needed isn’t tools for humans, but a foundational currency that can seamlessly embed into systems. If USD1 succeeds on this path, it might become the default currency in the AI economy!

Of course, USDT and USDC still have deep moats, and the key is whether their actual usage can keep up once the infrastructure is in place.

Ladies, what do you think? Is USD1 truly betting on the next-generation currency track, or is it just a pretty story? Let’s hear your honest thoughts.
