USD1 launch + WLFI preheating, revealing Sun Yuchen's three major strategic layouts

In the ever-changing cryptocurrency market, efficiency and vision determine the success or failure of a platform.

On May 6, Huobi HTX once again demonstrated "textbook" operations, becoming the world's first exchange to launch the stablecoin USD1. With USD1 igniting the market, Huobi HTX's next move is also eagerly anticipated: WLFI, which may become the platform's next heavyweight "hit product."

USD1 Launch: A Textbook Operation of Strength and Speed by Huobi HTX

On May 6, Huobi HTX announced the global launch of the stablecoin USD1, becoming the first exchange platform to support trading of this asset.

USD1 is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio, with reserves consisting of short-term US Treasury bonds, cash, and cash equivalents, managed by the established custodian BitGo, and regularly audited by a third-party auditing firm to ensure compliance and transparency. Currently, USD1 has been deployed on the Ethereum and BNB chains, with a circulating market cap exceeding $2.1 billion, ranking among the top five in both centralized and on-chain stablecoin markets, showcasing its market potential.

Huobi HTX pushed the launch of USD1 with astonishing efficiency: an announcement was made on May 5 at 11:10, with deposit services starting that evening at 19:30, and trading pairs opening the next day at 11:00. Additionally, the platform launched a limited-time fee-free trading event for the USD1/USDT spot trading pair, offering zero fees from May 6, 2025, at 11:00 to December 31, 2025, at 23:59, significantly enhancing user experience.

This series of efficient operations by Huobi HTX not only injected strong momentum into the promotion of USD1 but also laid the foundation for the further expansion of the WLFI ecosystem.

WLFI Launch Expectations: The Next "Show" from Huobi HTX?

After USD1, the market's attention has quickly shifted to the next potential project—WLFI.

This project is set to launch on October 15, 2024, and has raised a total of $550 million in two rounds of token sales, attracting over 85,000 investors. Notable players such as Sun Yuchen, DWF Labs, and Mike Dudas are behind it.

Therefore, after the launch of USD1 on Huobi HTX, the platform's next move has become a focal topic of community interest: Will WLFI be the next "show" from Huobi HTX?

It is well-known that Huobi HTX has always been "bold yet meticulous" in asset launches—daring to explore emerging fields while accurately grasping market trends:

In Q1 2025, when the market was still cautious and uncertain, Huobi HTX decisively launched TRUMP. After its launch, the asset saw a maximum increase of 9 times, quickly igniting market attention and user enthusiasm, and laying the groundwork for the popularity of "celebrity coins." Subsequently, a series of precise marketing and promotional activities were conducted around TRUMP, aligning with market trends.

In the AI concept coin sector, Huobi HTX also took the lead, being the first to launch VIRTUAL on the BASE chain (up 104%), AVAAI on the SOLANA chain (up 256%), and LUNA (up 312%), providing investors with excellent opportunities to seize hot topics.

This strategy of "daring to be the first while being steady" has allowed Huobi HTX to maintain a competitive edge in the fiercely competitive cryptocurrency market. Therefore, the launch of WLFI seems to be a natural progression for Huobi HTX.

Additionally, the close relationship between Sun Yuchen, WLFI, and Huobi HTX further strengthens this expectation. From TRUMP to USD1, Sun Yuchen has consistently played an active "guide" role in the WLFI ecosystem, with Huobi HTX naturally becoming a key tool for its strategic implementation.

Clearly, Huobi HTX does not randomly "take the first bite of the crab." Every choice it makes is well thought out, "taking" advantage of relational networks, key nodes, and potential power dividends.

Moreover, it is noteworthy that WLFI's official announcement on May 7 plans to test the on-chain airdrop function through a Snapshot proposal, distributing a small amount of USD1 to eligible $WLFI holders to verify the airdrop system and reward early supporters. This move not only enhances community engagement and project visibility but also adds more tangible basis and imaginative space for WLFI's potential launch on Huobi HTX.

WLFI Launch on Huobi HTX? Sun Yuchen's Statement Ignites Expectations

From TRUMP to USD1, Huobi HTX has continuously performed "instant hit" operations, providing a perfect rehearsal for the launch of WLFI. This time, Sun Yuchen's personal statement has further elevated the expectations for WLFI's launch on Huobi HTX.

On May 6, Eric Trump, the son of Donald Trump, announced on social media, "#USD1 is now live on HTX!" with the image "HTX listing $WLFI?" Sun Yuchen then retweeted and responded, "WLFI coming soon on HTX."

This sparked a wave of excitement. It not only provided a clear signal for WLFI's landing on Huobi HTX but also further solidified Huobi HTX's position as the core platform for the strategic implementation of WLFI.

It is foreseeable that once WLFI successfully launches on Huobi HTX, it will inevitably trigger a new wave of market enthusiasm under the "Sun Yuchen + Huobi HTX" crypto combination, potentially becoming another "hit product" for Huobi HTX in 2025.
