BINANCE KICKS OFF $40M WLFI AIRDROP CAMPAIGN FOR USD1 TOKEN HOLDERS
Binance, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has rolled out a new rewards program for users holding USD1 stablecoins, with $40 million in WLFI tokens allocated for distribution. The campaign aims to incentivize holding USD1 while promoting engagement with the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) ecosystem.
SOLANA REVENUE GAINS ON ETHEREUM AS STRUCTURED YIELD PLATFORMS ATTRACT INVESTORS
Accounts maintaining a USD1 balance between January 23 and February 20 will be eligible to receive weekly WLFI airdrops throughout the program.
How the WLFI Airdrop Works
The WLFI rewards will be distributed weekly, beginning February 2, with each distribution covering the previous seven days. Binance plans to release approximately $10 million in WLFI tokens per week over the four-week campaign.
Eligibility and Balance Calculation
Eligibility is determined by net USD1 balances held across multiple account types:
- Spot accounts
- Funding accounts
- Margin accounts
USDⓈ-M Futures accounts
Borrowing USD 1 does not count toward rewards. Users holding USD1 as collateral in margin or futures accounts may earn a higher reward rate, depending on their net balance.
Binance will take hourly snapshots of USD1 balances and use the lowest balance recorded each day to determine a user’s qualifying amount. First, Binance takes hourly snapshots of user balances. Binance calculates weekly rewards using the seven-day average balance and the effective annualized rate determined at the time of distribution.

- Reside in eligible jurisdictions
