The proposal, posted on May 6 in the WLFI governance forum, has gained almost unanimous support with 99.97% of votes in favor.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WLF fam \u2014 it\u2019s time.<br \/>A new Snapshot vote is live to airdrop USD1 to all eligible <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24WLFI&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$WLFI<\/a> holders.<br \/>Free USD1.

This distribution also serves as a meaningful way to thank our earliest supporters and introduce them to USD1,&#8221; states the proposal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The exact amount of USD1 to be distributed has not yet been determined. It will be calculated based on the total number of eligible wallets and the allocated budget for the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The vote is scheduled to close on May 14. Currently, those in favor are far ahead with approximately 2.6 billion tokens used to vote yes, compared to about 901,000 votes against the measure.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36195\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36195\" style=\"width: 852px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36195 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"852\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world.jpg 852w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world-131x78.jpg 131w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world-50x30.jpg 50w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/world-450x269.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: World Liberty Financial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Stablecoin Details and Background<\/h2>\n<p>USD1 was quietly deployed on the BNB Chain in early March 2025. Its presence was first detected by blockchain analytics firm LookOnChain, which traced the contract to a wallet associated with crypto market maker Wintermute, indicating preliminary test transactions.<\/p>\n<p>On March 25, WLFI formally announced the launch of USD1. The stablecoin is now available on both Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, with plans to expand to other blockchain networks in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike algorithmic stablecoins, USD1 is presented as a fully backed, institution-ready digital asset. The coin is backed by reserves consisting of short-term U.S. Treasuries, cash, and equivalent high-quality assets. Digital asset custodian BitGo has been tasked with overseeing these reserves.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;USD1 provides what algorithmic and anonymous crypto projects cannot\u2014access to the power of DeFi underpinned by the credibility and safeguards of the most respected names in traditional finance,&#8221; said WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>WLFI&#8217;s Growth and Market Context<\/h2>\n<p>Since its platform launch in September, World Liberty Financial has completed two public token sales. These sales have brought in a combined $550 million from approximately 85,000 registered holders, showing strong interest in the Trump-backed crypto project.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes at a time when the market for US dollar-denominated stablecoins is seeing major growth. According to a report from investment banking giant Citigroup, the market cap of US dollar stablecoins crossed $230 billion in April, marking a 54% increase since last year.<\/p>\n<p>Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) currently dominate 90% of this market. However, competition is emerging from various directions.<\/p>\n<p>Several countries have announced plans to launch stablecoins backed by currencies other than the US dollar. A trio of major Abu Dhabi institutions, including the Emirate&#8217;s sovereign wealth fund, announced a joint initiative on April 28 to launch a new dirham-pegged stablecoin.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a Russian finance ministry official floated a plan on April 16 for the country to develop its own stablecoin. This followed a freeze on wallets linked to the sanctioned Russian exchange Garantex by US authorities and stablecoin issuer Tether.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The date for the WLFI airdrop is still pending. The company has stated it reserves the &#8220;right to discontinue, suspend, modify or terminate the test airdrop&#8221; at any time, though the overwhelming support from token holders suggests the airdrop will likely proceed once the voting period concludes on May 14.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TLDR World Liberty Financial is proposing to airdrop their USD1 stablecoin to early WLFI token holders The governance vote closes May 14, with 99.97% currently in favor The airdrop is positioned as both a test of technical functionality and a way to thank early supporters USD1 launched in March as a fully backed stablecoin on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9005,"featured_media":36194,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":15,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28150],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-36193","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-analysis"},"wppr_data":{"cwp_meta_box_check":"No"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
