USD1 briefly drops to 0.997 USD, World Liberty Financial says it was a "coordinated attack"

USD10,01%
WLFI-6,25%

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.

2月24日消息,受“人工智能恐慌交易”升温及宏观风险情绪恶化影响,加密市场承压下行,以太坊、Solana和瑞波币跌幅持续扩大,主流加密资产周内普遍录得8%至11%的回调。比特币当日一度跌至约62900美元,单日下跌约2.1%,周线跌幅达7.5%,价格仍被限制在2月初拉升后形成的60000美元至70000美元震荡区间,市场更倾向于将其视为盘整区而非明确底部。 山寨币表现明显弱于比特币。以太坊价格回落至约1829美元附近,周跌幅约8%;XRP下跌超过10%,SOL跌幅超过11%,狗狗币亦接近两位数回调。主流山寨币同步走弱,反映出市场风险偏好下降,比特币以外资产的买盘明显不足,资金更趋谨慎配置。
