USD1 Airdrop Rewards Early Adopters With 8.4 Million Tokens

Summary

World Liberty Financial announced an 8.4 million WLFI token airdrop—about $1.1 million—to early participants in its USD1 Points Program, rewarding users who traded USD1 pairs or held balances over the past two months. The distribution will be executed across six exchanges (Gate.io, KuCoin, LBank, HTX Global, Flipster and MEXC), with each platform to confirm timing and eligibility separately. USD1, custodied by BitGo, is the sixth-largest stablecoin with a $2.98 billion market cap, while WLFI trades at $0.14 and remains down about 70% from its September peak; World Liberty Financial is also pursuing real-world asset tokenization and a debit card launch in late 2025 or early 2026. The airdrop aims to boost liquidity and user engagement for USD1 and WLFI but could add selling pressure on WLFI amid its recent price decline.
