- WLFI’s USD1 airdrop vote secures 99.97% approval from $WLFI holders.
- USD1 stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries gains market traction.
- WLFI raised $550M from $WLFI token sales in September 2024.
The USD1 stable coin proposed by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency project backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, has received overwhelming approval for a proposed airdrop. In a Snapshot vote, it was declared that qualified holders of $WLFI tokens would get the stablecoin. A stablecoin that is “one of the leading stablecoins in the crypto space” is offering USD1 holders the chance to get a free USD1 when the vote goes live on May 6, 2022, according to WLFI’s X post.
Already, the proposal has received nearly full support, with over 99 percent voting for it on May 7, 2025. This strong backing shows that the community believes in WLFI’s plans for testing its airdrop mechanism and rewarding early investors. The voting period will end on May 14, 2025.
According to WLFI, its airdrop is about ensuring the reliability of its on-chain system. One way the initiative will show its gratitude to backers is via USD1, a stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries and other cash equivalents and tied to the dollar.
To Test the System and Reward Holders Airdrop
This will validate the technical functionality of the airdrop system on the Ethereum mainnet and ensure that the platform is ready for bigger distributions. Furthermore, it also rewards those who have bought $WLFI tokens since the start of the project.
The proposal was approved by 2.6 billion votes (99.97%) within the first eight hours of voting. It says a lot about the trust that WLFI’s vision inspires. It has not yet been decided when the airdrop will occur or how many USD1 will be issued to each wallet. After clearance is provided, WLFI still has the power to make changes or cancel the airdrop if necessary.
The stablecoin, WLFI’s USD1, launched in March 2025, has already gained traction. The stablecoin was picked by Abu Dhabi based MGX to invest $2 billion in Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, according to Reuters. This move further emphasises USD1’s expanding role in the global cryptocurrency market, where stablecoins facilitate transactions.
Community Engagement and Broader Implications
$WLFI holders have become active in the Snapshot vote. A WLFI X post was made to encourage its community to participate, saying that this airdrop was going to be important for the project’s future. This initiative is in line with WLFI’s overarching vision to push the boundaries of decentralized finance (DeFi) through the provision of financial services without the involvement of banks as an intermediary.
Because of Binance’s involvement, the project is clearly one of the most important. On April 15, 2025, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao posted on X to confirm a meeting with WLFI co founder in Abu Dhabi, which indicates the partnership is still ongoing. Binance is one of the companies Zhao is a major shareholder of despite stepping down as CEO in 2023, and he expressed excitement about the partnership, saying the two entities share similar goals.
Since its September 2024 debut, WLFI has generated $550 million by two public sales of $WLFI tokens. Now, the project has USD1, a stablecoin that aims to compete in a market that already has players like Tether and USDC, whose market cap exceeds $242 billion.
Airdrop test is a strategic step for WLFI to expand the adoption of USD1. WLFI is also working with BNB Chain platforms such Lista DAO to provide consistent yield farming prospects for USD1 holders, hence enhancing its usefulness in DeFi.The move is in line with a growing stablecoins trend which offers crypto market stability with steady returns to investors.
While WLFI is picking up steam, its connection to the Trump family has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest. But while the Trump family isn’t directly involved in the project’s operations or ownership, according to WLFI’s whitepaper, the project has attracted criticism, and lawmakers are concerned about foreign investments and national security risks.
