Trump-linked decentralized finance project World Liberty Financial is distributing 47 USD1 stablecoins to wallet addresses that participated in its presale.
The airdrop was first flagged by blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain in a June 4 post on X, which noted that wallets involved in the WLFI token sale received 47 units of USD1. Several WLFI token holders on X have confirmed receiving the airdrop, which was conducted on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.

The number 47 is believed to commemorate Donald Trump becoming the 47th President of the United States, giving the airdrop ceremonial significance beyond its dollar value. The airdrop was originally proposed and approved through World Liberty’s on-chain governance platform, with 99.96% of 12,000 voters supporting the move.
The final approval was granted on May 15, following the vote’s conclusion the day before. WLFI previously said the campaign would serve to test the project’s airdrop infrastructure, reward early adopters, and increase exposure for USD1.
USD1 is World Liberty’s flagship stablecoin, backed by U.S. Treasuries, cash, and equivalent assets. Custodied by BitGo, it launched in April 2025 and quickly gained traction, with trading volumes spiking more than 6,700% at one point to reach $140 million. Its market cap now stands at $2.18 billion, with an equivalent circulating supply, as per DefiLlama data.
The airdrop arrives amid a wave of crypto-related activity involving Trump-affiliated ventures. On June 3, Trump Media & Technology Group filed to launch a spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF. Meanwhile, rumors of a separate crypto wallet project branded as the “Official Trump Wallet” have surfaced, though both the Trump Organization and Trump’s sons have denied involvement.
Adding to the momentum, Lookonchain also reported on June 4 that a wallet associated with the TRUMP memecoin project moved 4.17 million tokens, valued at $46.97 million, to Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and Bybit.
These overlapping developments have ignited both excitement and concern as authorities continue to examine the relationship between Trump’s political influence and blockchain involvement.
