Crypto exchange Binance has announced a new airdrop campaign that will reward users holding World Liberty Financial USD ($USD1), with a total distribution pool of 235 million World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) tokens.
The airdrop is set to begin on February 20, 2026, at 00:00 UTC and will be running until March 20, 2026. During this time, eligible users holding $USD1 across supported account types will receive $WLFI rewards on a weekly basis.
Binance Announces $WLFI Airdrop for $USD1 holders
As per the official announcement, the first airdrop will be on March 4, 2026. It will cover rewards collected between February 20 and February 27. After the first distribution, rewards will continue to be issued every Friday throughout the campaign period.
The total $WLFI reward pool of 235 million tokens will be distributed across four weekly installments. Each week, nearly 58.75 million $WLFI tokens will be allocated among eligible participants. Note that the rewards will be credited directly to users’ Binance Spot Accounts.
Eligibility for the campaign depends on holding $USD1 balances in supported accounts on Binance. These include Spot Accounts, Funding Accounts, Margin Accounts, and USDⓈ-M Futures Accounts where $USD1 is used as collateral. The exchange clarified that users who maintain at least 0.01 $USD1 in margin or futures accounts will qualify for a 1.2x bonus multiplier on their $WLFI rewards, regardless of whether they actively trade or use leverage.
The reward calculation will be based on a user’s qualifying $USD1 balance. Binance said that snapshots of user balances will be taken multiple times every hour. The lowest $USD1 balance recorded each day will be used as the qualifying balance for that day.
The exchange added that $USD1 obtained through borrowing other stablecoins will be subject to a 70% haircut after liabilities are accounted for. This includes borrowing from assets such as USDT, USDC, $USD1, U, RLUSD, and FDUSD. In addition, $USD1 borrowed as liabilities through loans or margin positions will not be included in qualifying balances.
Binance stated that there will be no individual cap on rewards. The allocation of each user will depend on the balance that is relative to the total pool of eligible $USD1 holdings across all participants. Rewards will be rounded down to two decimal places and distribution timing may be different slightly depending on operational conditions. At the time of writing, $WLFI was trading near $0.09955 after a 1.9% dip over the past 24 hours. Even with the short term price movement, the project has been gaining attention, thanks to a series of high profile developments and events linked to its ecosystem.
$WLFI, which is a crypto initiative associated with members of the President Donald Trump’s family including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, is also preparing to host the World Liberty Forum at the Mar a Lago estate. The invitation only summit is expected to gather nearly 400 global leaders from finance, technology, sports, media, and government.
The event agenda is expected to focus on the future of the US dollar, stablecoins such as $USD1, decentralized finance, artificial intelligence, and cross border payments infrastructure. Industry figures including David Solomon, Adena Friedman, and Brian Armstrong are among the expected participants. Organizers are also expected to present updates on the World Swap remittance platform, which targets a multi trillion dollar global payments market.
