World Liberty Financial prepares an airdrop of 8.4 million WLFI tokens to reward early users of the USD1 Points program. The distribution, scheduled for October 29, 2025, will benefit those who traded USD1 pairs or held balances on exchanges such as Gate.io, KuCoin, LBank, HTX, Flipster, or MEXC. Each platform will set its own rules and timelines for this free token distribution.
WLFI began trading on September 1, 2025 and already has 27 billion tokens unlocked and $900 million in open interest. The team defines WLFI as an exclusively governance token, non-transferable and not an investment. It is important to note that the smart contract owner retains broad powers, such as halting sales, modifying fees, or creating new tokens, which concentrates control and poses significant risks.
The USD1 stablecoin, held by BitGo, has reached a supply of $2.98 billion and recorded $3.37 billion in 24-hour volume. As an initial proof, the project distributed $4 million in USD1 among approximately 85,000 WLFI holders, in small portions of $47 each.
Project details and security warnings
The Trump family and close associates own approximately 22.5 billion WLFI, nearly one-fifth of the total supply, creating a concentration of power and potential conflicts of interest. The token experienced a 70% drop after its launch and remains highly volatile. Additionally, 24.67 billion tokens remain locked for future releases, which could put downward pressure on prices.
The team recently froze 3 billion tokens in Justin Sun’s wallet, demonstrating its ability to lock balances and move funds. Users should remain alert to fake sites and phishing emails that impersonate the official claim page. After October 29, each exchange will open its own claim window, and compliance teams must prepare KYC and anti-fraud systems before that date.
