WLFI has not publicly commented on the minting activity or the details of the MGX transaction.USD1 was officially launched in April 2025 after its development was announced by WLFI in March. Like other fiat-linked tokens, this stablecoin is backed by short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, cash reserves, and bank deposits, aiming to provide a transparent and fully collateralized digital dollar infrastructure.As part of its launch, WLFI plans to airdrop a portion of USD1 to token holders, positioning the move as both a promotional effort and a way to test its on-chain distribution capabilities.Despite being a new player, USD1 enters a mature and highly competitive $231 billion stablecoin market that is currently dominated by Tether (USDT) with $149 billion and Circle’s USDC with a market cap of $60 billion. Together, USDT and USDC account for more than 90% of the US dollar stablecoin market.*This is not investment advice.Follow our Telegram and Twitter account now for exclusive news, analytics and on-chain data!Source link
