To put it bluntly, what USD1 is doing now is completely different from a 'normal stablecoin'. ▪️ Previously, Binance continuously helped WLFI expand its market, followed by Nasdaq listed company ALT5's direct $100 million stock buyback and strategic purchase of WLFI. If you are still understanding this line from the perspective of USDT/USDC, there is a high probability that you are looking in the wrong direction. Because from the moment ALT5 entered the market, it was no longer a "stablecoin competition", but an infrastructure gamble of "upgrading if successful, and returning to zero if defeated". ✅ What is USD1 doing now The first layer, DeFi is just the starting point The launch of Dolomite lending, with a 9%+supply side APR, is not essentially about "high returns", but about putting USD1 into the real fund pool first and letting it be used first. The second layer is distribution and binding Recently, Binance's point mechanism is not a reward, but a control variable - turning "holding stablecoins" into "participating in the system", betting on whether the subsidy will be retained after the slope is reduced. The third layer, starting to touch the real world If WLFI App can really achieve direct bank/wallet spending of USD1, then it is not competing for DeFi users, but for the payment portal itself. The fourth and most dangerous layer: AI+compliant settlement ALT5 AI transfers USD1 to AI to AI payment KYC、 Pushing in automated settlement is not about telling stories, but directly pushing oneself into the forefront of supervision and enforcement. So I actually think that the real risk period is not 'whether someone uses it or not', but 'when ambition begins to grow'. In the next 12-18 months, there will only be two outcomes: one ️⃣ USD1 Runtong Real Payment+AI Settlement → Direct Upgrade two ️⃣ These things cannot fall to the ground → Now all narratives collapse in an instant So the question is never whether WLFI will rise, but whether you think the actions you are seeing now are more like the layout before the product is formed, or a precursor to narrative overload?
