The market value of the stablecoin launched by President Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial crypto venture rose to $2.1 billion on Thursday from $130 million three days ago after a Middle East sovereign wealth fund used the token to pay for its investment in crypto exchange Binance.

The stablecoin was used by Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund MGX, according to World Liberty’s co-founder Zach Witkoff, son of Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. He made the announcement on Thursday at a crypto conference in Dubai, in a panel with Eric Trump, son of Trump. Binance announced the MGX investment in March, but didn’t specify which token would be used to settle the transaction.

USD1, the Trump stablecoin, rose to $2.1 billion in market circulation on Thursday, making it the 7th largest stablecoin. Trump’s crypto venture stands to benefit from the move, because it earns interest on reserve assets that back the stablecoin, such as US Treasurys, which generally yield just over 4%. USD1 keeps that income, which would be roughly $80 million a year.
