Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The disclosed switch away from USD1 toward USDC indicates weaker real-world adoption for the Trump-linked USD1 and reinforces USDC's incumbent usage in this merchant case; this is a supply/demand signal favoring Circle's USDC adoption, though the scale to Circle's volumes or revenue is unclear.

Blockchain analysis found no evidence that PredictStreet used USD1 for trading; transactions were conducted in USDC.
Following Bloomberg inquiries, PredictStreet removed references to USD1 from its website and replaced them with USDC after the midterm elections, saying earlier information was outdated.
