Trump-Associated WLFI Distributes Tokens to Boost USD1 Expansion as Regulatory Oversight Intensifies
- WLFI airdropped 8.4M tokens to boost USD1 adoption, a Trump-linked stablecoin now ranked sixth globally. - Shares surged 20% as USD1’s $2.94B market cap grows, but WLFI’s price remains 70% below its September peak. - Ties to Trump’s ecosystem, including a $2B Binance deal, face regulatory scrutiny amid expanding crypto ventures. - Future DeFi integrations and buybacks aim to stabilize WLFI, though political and market risks persist.

WLFI’s latest buyback and burn initiative—announced in tandem with the airdrop—could help control token supply, but experts caution that both political and market uncertainties still pose considerable risks, as previously noted by Yahoo Finance.
World Liberty Financial has yet to announce exact dates for upcoming airdrop rounds but stressed that the loyalty initiative is “just the start” of its campaign to promote USD1, according to the Yahoo Finance article. As the Trump-backed stablecoin cements its place in the digital asset market, the outcome of these strategies may determine whether WLFI sustains its momentum or encounters new challenges.
