Lista DAO (LISTA) Jumps Over 58% Following WLFI’s USD1 Binance Listing

LISTA, the native token of the decentralized stablecoin protocol Lista DAO, has seen a remarkable price increase in the past 24 hours. According to data from Coingecko, the asset has surged by over 58%, trading at $0.2844 at press time. 

Lista DAO is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the BNB Chain. It offers liquid staking and stablecoin lending solutions. The platform also enables users to leverage their crypto holdings to access liquidity using its decentralized stablecoin, lisUSD.

What’s Behind the Surge?

On Thursday, Binance, the leading crypto exchange, officially launched trading for World Liberty Financial USD1 (USD1), at 12:00 UTC. Launched in early 2025 by World Liberty Financial, USD1 is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin associated with President Donald Trump. According to the official announcement, withdrawals are set to commence on May 23 at 12:00 UTC. 

This move brought major attention not only to the stablecoin but also to Lista DAO. For context, World Liberty Financial formed a strategic partnership with Lista DAO earlier this month. The collaboration aims to unlock new DeFi features for users on the BNB Chain. Both projects combined forces to enhance stablecoin use, DeFi lending, and liquidity on the BNB Chain. They started with vaults and LPs and are building toward more advanced integrations.

Shortly after Binance’s listing announcement, LISTA’s price exploded. It outperformed many of its DeFi peers and drew massive interest from both retail and institutional traders. On-chain data shows the crypto asset’s trading volume saw an impressive rise to over $103 million. This metric reflects a more than 813% increase in the last 24 hours, indicating strong investor interest and confidence. 

Notably, LISTA is up 44.80% in the last 7 days, outperforming the global cryptocurrency market which is up 5.80%. The digital asset currently has a market capitalization of over $49 million.

According to the project, users can now interact with a USD1 vault within its platform. This allows them to mint lisUSD or earn yield by depositing USD1 as collateral, thereby instantly expanding the utility for USD1 holders.

Furthermore, a USD1/lisUSD LP (liquidity pool) will soon be available. This provision will deepen liquidity between the two stablecoins, making swaps smoother. It will also open up more yield farming opportunities for LP providers.

The platform noted that users will soon be able to use USD1 as collateral in Lista DAO’s CDP system. This means users can lock USD1 to mint lisUSD or borrow other assets. This, in turn, will enhance the overall utility of the stablecoin in lending markets. Moreover, both platforms said that more features are being developed, signalling a long-term vision for synergy.

WLFI’s Binance debut shines a spotlight on Lista DAO and boosts its market value. This makes the asset well-positioned to achieve greater heights. However, this will depend on how well the team continues to deliver and whether the market remains strong for staked assets.
