Yi Lihua stated in an article: "2026 is the first year of financial blockchainization. Stablecoins and Ethereum are the most important infrastructures. I believe WLFI's decision to exchange BTC for ETH today reflects the same thinking. WLFI has three future paths: First, USD1 will break through 10 billion in the near term, 100 billion in the medium term, and occupy a trillion-dollar share in the 3 trillion stablecoin market in the long term. Second, USD1 will cooperate with Web2 companies with hundreds of millions of active users. The advantages of stablecoin payments are far greater than traditional Visa, which will bring billions of users to blockchain and stablecoins. Third, in the future multi-trillion dollar financial blockchain market, USD1 will leverage its brand, compliance, ToB, and user advantages to become the most important infrastructure. This is the reason and logic behind our large holdings in ETH and heavy investment in WLFI."
