HTX has suspended trading for WLFI and USD1 pairs after accusing World Liberty Financial of freezing specific exchange-linked on-chain addresses without enough transparency or prior coordination. The exchange halted WLFI/USDT, USD1/USDT, BTC/USD1 and ETH/USD1 trading as of 13:00 UTC on June 5, 2026. The move followed what HTX described as a unilateral freeze imposed by the WLFI project team after sanctions-compliance reviews, restricting the on-chain circulation of WLFI assets associated with certain HTX addresses.
