3 characters purely selected for marketing reasons. It could also be named WHCRST or any other name.

It's extremely relevant that it tries to maintain a 1:1 peg with USD, not whatever currency WHCRS is. The US controls law around the US dollar.

The naming of the coin itself is for sure not relevant of its functionality, or what am I missing here?

The pegging is not achieved within the name itself.
