Binance has launched a $40 million WLFI airdrop campaign aimed at users who hold USD1 on the exchange. The program is designed to encourage wider use of the USD1 stablecoin.
The campaign runs from Jan. 23 to Feb. 20. Binance will distribute WLFI tokens weekly, with the first payout scheduled for Feb. 2. Around $10 million in tokens will be released each week over four weeks.
Eligibility is based on users’ USD1 balances held on Binance. Balances in Spot, Funding, Margin, and USDⓈ-M Futures accounts all count, though borrowed funds are excluded from calculations.
Binance will use hourly balance snapshots and record the lowest balance each day. Weekly rewards are then calculated using a seven-day average of a user’s qualifying USD1 holdings.
USD1 used as collateral in margin or futures accounts earns a higher reward rate. Binance said users must complete identity verification and live in eligible regions to take part.
USD1 was launched in April 2025 as a fully backed stablecoin, pegged one-to-one with US dollars and money market funds. According to DeFiLlama, its market value has now passed $3 billion.
The stablecoin is available across several blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, and Monad. Its usage has grown steadily since launch.
WLFI, the main token of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem, has also seen rising activity in early 2026. While the token has gained new partnerships, its links to President Donald Trump have sparked debate over potential conflicts of interest.
