WLFI Holders Get $47 Surprise as Trump-Backed Stablecoin Project Heats Up

WLFI token holders woke up to an unexpected bonus this week: $47 worth of USD1, the stablecoin issued by Trump-affiliated World Liberty Financial.

The airdrop, sent to wallets that participated in the WLFI token sale, comes as USD1 continues expanding its footprint across chains thanks to Chainlink’s CCIP integration. The token, pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by a mix of Treasuries and fiat, now boasts a $200 million market cap—not massive, but increasingly visible given its political backing and recent involvement in MGX’s $2B Binance investment.

Sure, $47 isn’t going to moon anyone’s portfolio, but it was enough to stir chatter on X and briefly spike engagement around the project.

The timing isn’t accidental. World Liberty Financial is gearing up to launch its own crypto wallet, and this airdrop looks like a strategic move to re-energize the WLFI community ahead of the rollout.
