To boost USD1 market cap:
Buy a small amount of USD1
transfer a small amount to yourself or to someone else monthly or more
Look for ways to spend USD1 and spend it
Give USD1 as gifts to your tech savy friends and relatives (even if they cash it out immediately the network exposure will help w circulating volume)
Let’s all help ourselves by helping USD1
I’m with you, but this is really something the team needs to be focusing on too. I also am trying to find ways to use USD1 to support the ecosystem and there is near nothing you can do. Buy it just to have it, hold it to earn “points” you can’t do anything with. How are we supposed to attract outside interest when even enthusiastic inside interests can’t find a use case? Don’t mistake me for just fudding or griping here, but the infrastructure support for USD1 is weak weak weak. The team needs to be out there doing what you are doing, encouraging use and highlighting viable use cases. /rant 
I have noticed the USD1 provider list has grown quite a bit. There are 27 listed at last check. That’s encouraging news. I look forward to the lending capability.
