World Liberty Financial announced the launch of a large-scale distribution of 8.4 million WLFI tokens among users participating in the USD1 Points loyalty program. Rewards will be given to those who actively traded USD1 pairs and maintained their stablecoin balances on partner exchanges.
The USD1 Points program, launched two months ago, was created to strengthen the stablecoin's position and incentivize early activity within the ecosystem. The WLFI tokens that users receive serve as a governance asset, granting them the right to participate in votes and influence decisions within the protocol.
The initial distribution will take place on six leading centralized exchanges: Gate.io, KuCoin, LBank, HTX Global, Flipster, and MEXC. Each of these exchanges will independently determine the exact terms and dates of the distribution. The company noted that this scheme will ensure transparency and equal opportunities for all participants.
World Liberty Financial representatives emphasized that the loyalty program will not be limited to the current stage. Future plans include expanding the list of trading pairs, introducing new ways to earn points, and integrating with various DeFi platforms. Thus, the initiative aims not only to increase interest in USD1 but also to develop the project's entire digital asset ecosystem.
In addition to distributing WLFI, the company is actively working on new products. Project manager Zach Witkoff announced at the Token2049 conference that World Liberty Financial plans to launch its own debit card in late 2025 or early 2026. This move, according to Witkoff, will bring the project closer to creating a full-fledged financial infrastructure integrating traditional and blockchain instruments.
World Liberty is placing special emphasis on the tokenization of real assets. In the future, these solutions may be linked to USD1, opening up new opportunities for its use. As a reminder, the company previously introduced a WLFI buyback and burn mechanism, which aims to maintain the token's stability and limit its supply.
The USD1 stablecoin, backed by BitGo reserves and pegged to the US dollar, is already among the top six stablecoins by market capitalization, with a total supply of $2.98 billion. With these new initiatives, World Liberty Financial intends to strengthen the positions of USD1 and WLFI, laying a long-term foundation for the project's further growth.
