World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) venture backed by US President Donald Trump, announced that it will distribute approximately $1.2 million worth of WLFI tokens to early users of its USD1 points program.
The airdrop comes as WLFI faces a difficult market with its price down 24.6% since September and bearish sentiment among traders.

WLFI Airdrop targets early supporters of the USD1 program
According to an official statement, six centralized exchanges (CEXs) will oversee the distribution of 8.4 million WLFI tokens to eligible users. Rewards will be given to participants who earn points by trading 1 USD pairs and holding a 1 USD balance.
The first phase of distribution will be carried out by Gate, KuCoin, LBank, HTX, Flipster, and MEXC. World Liberty Financial advised users to check announcements from their respective exchanges for details on reward allocation and distribution schedules.
“The criteria and eligibility for earning points and rewards, as well as distribution details, may vary based on each exchange’s rules,” the team said.
World Liberty said the airdrop will recognize users who have played a key role in increasing the adoption of USD1.. According to CoinGecko, USD1 ranks among the top 10 stablecoins by market capitalization.. This initiative therefore rewards community loyalty while encouraging the continued use of USD1 across participating platforms.
“Two months ago, World Liberty launched the USD1 Points program for select exchanges. The loyalty platform put power in the hands of early users and helped drive $500 million in growth in the past two months through activities such as purchasing and spending USD1 on partner exchanges. Now those users can earn rewards,” the post reads.

The DeFi project emphasized that the latest reward distribution is the beginning of broader expansion plans for the WLFI and USD1 ecosystems. World Liberty added:
“The WLFI points program will continue to expand in parallel with the new USD1 initiative, offering more places and ways to earn points, new trading pairs and ways to spend your USD1, upcoming DeFi integrations, and broader reward opportunities to drive usage and adoption.”
Meanwhile, the token itself is showing a gradual recovery as the community prepares for the much-awaited WLFI airdrop. According to data from BeInCrypto Markets, WLFI has gained 3.86% in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at $0.151.
However, the recent gains are still small compared to WLFI’s broader downtrend. Despite debuting on major exchanges, the token faces market challenges.
Since its launch, WLFI has lost approximately 24.6% of its value. Sentiment indicators reflect this lingering pessimism. CoinGecko data shows that around 60% of traders remain bearish on the token.
While the upcoming airdrop has reignited excitement in the community, it could also be a double-edged sword for WLFI’s short-term performance. Airdrops often cause short-term sales as recipients cash out their free tokens. Additionally, the increase in circulating supply could lead to further price declines unless there is a commensurate increase in demand.
This timing amidst a market downturn increases uncertainty. Whether this distribution pushes WLFI down or increases interest again will depend on broader trends and receiver behavior in the coming weeks.
