WLFI says USD1 fully backed; proof of reserves not public
WLFI associates assert USD1 is fully compliant and backed 1:1 with reserves, according to Phemex. The statement reiterates the project’s design while market participants scrutinize reserve transparency.
Independent verification such as a public proof-of-reserves or audited financials has not appeared in the cited coverage; as reported by Bloomingbit, no major regulator or audit firm has issued confirmations. Absent documentation, assertions remain unverified by third parties.
Why this matters: WLFI USD1 depegging, security claims, market integrity
As reported by MEXC, USD1 briefly traded near $0.994 before rebounding, and WLFI alleged co-founder account compromises, misinformation, and short positioning contributed to pressure. Price dislocations of this type often cascade via liquidity and sentiment channels.
A depeg, even if short-lived, can undermine confidence in a nascent stablecoin. Verification of reserves and operational security practices is central to market integrity.
One purported team member framed events as a coordinated attack. “Someone organized an ‘attack’. USD1 is fully compliant, and all assets are collateralized at a 1:1 ratio,” said Dylan_0x, a WLFI Wallet team member.
Immediate impact: brief ~$0.994 depeg, claims of coordinated attack
Pricing moved below the intended $1 peg and normalized within a short window, per coverage cited above. The immediate market impact was therefore limited in duration but directionally significant.
ChainCatcher reported that on-chain investigator ZachXBT scheduled a major report for February 26, 2026. Coverage has noted the proximity in timing without establishing causation.
What to watch: audits, reserves, and ZachXBT investigation
Proof-of-reserves or audits: publication status and WLFI guidance
According to PANewsLab, WLFI-linked messaging maintains USD1 is fully collateralized 1:1; however, the cited materials do not include a publicly released proof-of-reserves or audit. Publication of independent verification remains a focal need.
Peg monitoring: redemptions, official notices, and on-chain context
Monitoring should prioritize functioning redemptions, any official notices from WLFI, and on-chain context from reputable analysts. Clear documentation and timely attestations would help distinguish liquidity stress from solvency concerns.
FAQ about WLFI USD1
