WLFI Airdrops $4M in USD1 Stablecoin as Market Eyes Potential Token Listing

WLFI Airdrops $4M in USD1 Stablecoin as Market Eyes Potential Token Listing

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a digital asset project linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump, has successfully distributed $4 million worth of USD1 stablecoin to qualified token holders via a large-scale airdrop.

According to the official announcement on X (formerly Twitter), the airdrop was executed without major technical issues or manual claim processes. Approximately 85,106 wallets received an average of $47 worth of USD1, based on on-chain data.

The airdrop was conducted on the Ethereum blockchain, coinciding with a recent surge in institutional interest in ETH. However, WLFI holders from New York and a few other restricted jurisdictions were excluded from the distribution.

Community-Driven Approval

The airdrop plan was initially revealed in April, followed by a community vote in May which approved the proposal. The actual distribution took place in early June, further fueling anticipation around the WLFI token.

Though the USD1 stablecoin initially struggled with delayed listings, its recent debut on Binance has renewed optimism. The move also reflects growing institutional appetite for dollar-backed stablecoins.

Will WLFI Be Tradable Soon?

Currently, the WLFI token is non-transferable and not listed on any exchange, serving only governance purposes. However, the successful USD1 airdrop has sparked discussions about enabling WLFI trading in the near future.

A recent post on WLFI’s official channel asked, “Should we make WLFI tradable based on community feedback?”—a signal that governance proposals on this issue are actively being considered. While a governance vote will ultimately decide, market sentiment suggests high approval likelihood.

Still, according to the project's whitepaper, WLFI trading may not be officially permitted until 2026, unless the rules are amended.

Strong Treasury, Rising Global Interest

WLFI’s treasury has now surpassed $100 million, boosted by recent agreements, including a cooperation deal with Pakistan. Despite this, some critics within the U.S. remain skeptical about the project's operations and long-term vision.
