Global crypto exchange KuCoin has introduced the USD1 Points Program, an initiative that gives exclusive benefits to users for interacting with USD1, a fiat-backed stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI).
The program offers redeemable points for completing specific activities such as trading, holding, staking, and participating in GemPool.
How Does the KuCoin USD1 Points Program Work?
The program allows KuCoin users with a clear path to earning redeemable points. Traders can earn points by buying USD1 against both stablecoin and non-stablecoin pairs, with limit maker orders earning double points.

Users can also earn daily points simply by holding at least 1,000 USD1 in their account or by staking it through KuCoin’s GemPool or Earn programs.
Notably, KuCoin confirmed that points are updated daily at 00:00 UTC and credited on a T+1 basis, ensuring transparent and timely distribution. Points can later be redeemed for exclusive benefits, with full details expected to be announced as the program develops.
What Is the USD1 Stablecoin KuCoin Is Championing?
For context, USD1 was launched in April 2025 by WLFI and is custodied by BitGo Trust Company. Each token is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar and backed by reserves that include U.S. Treasury bills and other liquid assets.
To maintain transparency, USD1 undergoes quarterly audits and uses Chainlink’s Proof of Reserves for on-chain verification.
Notably, the stablecoin supports zero-fee minting and redemption, alongside cross-chain transfers between Ethereum, TRON, and Solana using Chainlink’s CCIP protocol. These features make it suitable for global payments and decentralized finance applications.
Recent growth highlights its adoption, with supply expanding by 9 percent following a $205 million mint. WLFI also confirmed plans to expand USD1 to the Solana network later in 2025, which could further increase its utility and circulation.
Meanwhile, Coin Edition had earlier reported the surge in the stablecoin’s growth. The USD1 stablecoin reached a $2.2 billion market cap in under 90 days with $500 million in daily trading volume. This growth has now risen to $2.55 albeit with a reduction in 24-hour trading volume to $399
What the Program Means for KuCoin Users
This collaboration positions KuCoin as a key player in promoting stablecoin utility, potentially driving increased trading volume and user engagement. By rewarding activities like staking and liquidity provision, the program could accelerate USD1’s adoption in DeFi and global payments.
For KuCoin users, this offers a straightforward way to earn points for exclusive benefits while interacting with a stable, audited asset. Meanwhile, for the broader market, the move may strengthen competition among stablecoins and encourage other exchanges to introduce similar points program models.
