- WLFI airdrop receives over 99% support, rewarding early holders and testing smart contract infrastructure.
- USD1 stablecoin is now live on HTX Global with added integrations through ListaDAO’s vault and liquidity features.
- Political and regulatory scrutiny increases as WLFI funding ties to Trump-linked entities draw lawmaker attention.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto platform with links to the Trump family, is moving forward with a planned airdrop of its USD1 stablecoin. The airdrop follows a snapshot vote that opened on May 6 and is already showing overwhelming support from WLFI token holders. With nearly 2.6 billion votes cast in favor and fewer than one million against, approval is nearing 100 percent.
WLFI stated that the airdrop aims to test its smart contract infrastructure in a live setting. The distribution will serve both as a technical test and as a gesture of appreciation toward its early backers. The exact date of the airdrop has not been confirmed, and the final distribution amount will depend on the number of eligible wallets and available budget. WLFI also indicated it retains the right to cancel or modify the airdrop process.
USD1 Gains Listing and Expands Integration
On May 5, WLFI officially listed USD1 on the HTX Global exchange. Trading for the token opened on May 6, with withdrawals beginning May 7. In addition to the listing, WLFI partnered with ListaDAO to integrate USD1 into its protocol. The USD1 Vault is already live, with plans to launch a USD1 liquidity pool and enable its use as collateral in a CDP system.
WLFI has positioned USD1 as a compliant and transparent stablecoin tied to the US dollar. Co-founder Zach Witkoff and Eric Trump have publicly emphasized their focus on regulation and trust. These developments come as WLFI increases its institutional ties and visibility within the stablecoin ecosystem.
Political Ties Continue to Raise Concerns
WLFI’s activities have drawn attention in Washington due to its affiliations. Around $390 million from WLFI token sales has reportedly gone to DT Marks DEFI LLC, an entity connected to Donald Trump. Lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Maxine Waters, have called on the SEC to review its stance and disclose internal records related to WLFI.
