World Liberty Financial To Airdrop USD1 Stablecoins to WLFI Holders, According to Governance Proposal

The Trump family-adjacent decentralized finance (DeFi) project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has proposed a stablecoin airdrop.

Last month, the DeFi project announced plans to launch a new stablecoin called USD1, which it says is pegged to the US dollar and backed by short-term government treasuries, dollar deposits and cash equivalents.

Now, World Liberty wants to test its on-chain airdrop feature by distributing a small amount of USD1 to all current WLFI token holders. In a new proposal , the project says the final exact amount will be based “on total eligible wallets and budget.”

Explains World Liberty,

“Testing the airdrop mechanism in a live setting is a necessary step to ensure smart contract functionality and readiness. This distribution also serves as a meaningful way to thank our earliest supporters and introduce them to USD1.”

World Liberty  notes in the fine print on its website that President Donald Trump is not an officer, director, founder, or employee of the firm or any of its affiliates, but the company does name the president as the “Chief Crypto Advocate.”

World Liberty’s website also states that DT Marks DEFI LLC, an entity affiliated with Trump and some of his family members, holds 22.5 billion WLFI tokens and is entitled to receive fees from the project.
