World Liberty Financial to Airdrop 8.4M WLFI Tokens to Early USD1 Users

The Trump-backed stablecoin project World Liberty Financial announced plans to distribute 8.4 million WLFI governance tokens to early adopters of its USD1 Points Program, rewarding users who helped accelerate the stablecoin’s early growth.

Launched two months ago, the USD1 Points Program incentivized trading and holding activity on select exchanges, helping drive over $500 million in volume and positioning USD1 as the sixth-largest stablecoin by market capitalization, according to CoinGecko data.

The WLFI airdrop will roll out across six centralized exchanges — Gate.io, KuCoin, LBank, HTX Global, Flipster, and MEXC — with specific timelines and eligibility criteria determined by each platform.

According to World Liberty, participants earned points by trading USD1 pairs or maintaining balances on partner exchanges. The company said the rewards initiative reflects its goal of broadening USD1’s utility through upcoming DeFi integrations, new trading pairs, and additional loyalty programs.

In a post on X, the team reiterated its focus on expanding the stablecoin’s reach in both decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset (RWA) ecosystems as part of its next growth phase.
