HTX, the cryptocurrency exchange, has pulled the Trump family’s USD1 token from its platform and halted all trading of the asset. The move came after World Liberty, the organization behind the token, froze its own addresses — a step that effectively locked the tokens in place.
The Delisting Decision
HTX announced the delisting and suspension without detailing a specific trigger. The exchange cited the freeze by World Liberty as the reason for the action. Users holding USD1 on HTX can no longer trade or withdraw the token. The exchange did not say if it would compensate holders or if the token might return.
World Liberty’s Freeze
World Liberty, which controls the token’s smart contract, froze all addresses associated with USD1. That means no transfers are possible — in or out. The organization hasn’t explained why it took that step. The freeze came just days after the token launched, raising questions about its design and governance.
What’s Next for USD1
The token, tied to the Trump family but not directly issued by any Trump-owned company, now has no active exchange listing. Without a market, its value is effectively zero. World Liberty hasn’t signaled any plan to unfreeze the addresses or relist the token. For now, holders are stuck.
