Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Sends $47 in USD1 Stablecoin to WLFI Token Holders
World Liberty Financial, the crypto firm backed by the Trump family, has issued a surprise airdrop of $47 worth of its USD1 stablecoin to all wallets that participated in its WLFI token sale.
The stablecoin, pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by a mix of U.S. Treasuries and fiat reserves, has recently expanded its reach across multiple blockchains following integration with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
While USD1’s market cap remains modest at $200 million—dwarfed by giants like Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC—the Trump association and the token’s role in MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance have drawn significant attention.
Though $47 isn’t a transformative sum, it’s been enough to spark a wave of engagement from the WLFI community and fuel conversation on X (formerly Twitter).
The airdrop also comes as World Liberty Financial prepares to roll out its own crypto wallet in the coming months, signaling broader ambitions in the digital finance space.
