USD1 – the stablecoin of World Liberty Financial – briefly dropped to $0.99707 on Monday morning. A fluctuation range of about 0.01%–0.03% is generally not considered a depeg unless it persists.
World Liberty, a crypto initiative backed by President Donald Trump and his family, stated that they faced a “coordinated attack.” According to the company, hackers gained unauthorized access to the X accounts of several co-founders, hired KOLs to spread FUD, and opened large short positions on $WLFI to profit from market volatility.
However, the company affirmed that the incident was not related to wallets or protocol infrastructure. No smart contracts were affected, and all USD1 tokens remain fully collateralized 1:1 with reserves held at BitGo, including US Treasury short-term bonds. After the fluctuation, USD1 quickly traded back near the $1 mark.
Meanwhile, the freely traded WLFI token of the project declined about 3% during the day.

The stablecoin legislation is about to be implemented, and mainstream CEX stablecoin revenue could surge up to 7 times
February 24 News, as the United States advances its stablecoin regulatory framework, the "Genius Act" is being viewed by the market as a key policy to reshape the stablecoin industry landscape. Analysts point out that under the push of this act, the stablecoin-related revenue of the United States' largest compliant CEX is expected to grow by 2 to 7 times, and some institutions interpret this as a potential long-term "tenfold" growth logic, making it one of the important narratives in the crypto market by 2026.
The act was signed by Trump, with the core goal of establishing a clear compliance system for U.S. stablecoins, including requirements for issuers to hold high-quality liquid assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds in a 1:1 ratio as reserves, and strengthening anti-money laundering and regulatory transparency. This institutional design will significantly reduce compliance uncertainties for stablecoins, increase institutional funding willingness, and promote the expansion of regulated stablecoins in payments, settlements, and on-chain finance.
