Vassiliev's stabilization conjecture for finite-type invariants

Let KK be a knot, and let a Vassiliev (finite-type) invariant mean any finite-type invariant of knots. Vassiliev's stabilization conjecture. If every Vassiliev invariant of KK is identical to its value on the trivial knot, then KK is unknotted.

This is presented as the simplest case of Vassiliev's stabilization conjecture and is anticipated as a consequence of the volume conjecture. The source does not provide a resolution, so the claim remains open here.
