Justin Sun’s HTX delists Trump family’s USD1 amid freeze fight
HTX delisted World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin after alleging WLFI froze HTX on-chain addresses without adequate notice or legal basis. HTX said the freeze restricted circulation of WLFI assets tied to those addresses and harmed users, so it removed USD1 to protect user funds. Deposit and conversion support for USD1 ended, and affected balances will be converted to Tether at 1:1. HTX also suspended trading pairs including WLFI/USDT, USD1/USDT, BTC/USD1, and ETH/USD1. HTX asked WLFI to reverse the freeze and said it may pursue legal remedies. WLFI has not directly addressed HTX’s claim, but said it maintains sanctions-compliance controls. The dispute follows wider tensions between Justin Sun, HTX, and WLFI, including earlier lawsuits from both sides.
