Each distribution will cover the previous seven days, with roughly $10 million in tokens released per week over four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility is based on net USD1 balances held on Binance. USD1 stored in Spot, Funding, Margin, and USD\u24c8-M Futures accounts all count, though borrowed funds are excluded. USD1 used as collateral in margin or futures accounts earns a higher reward rate.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Reward calculations are based on a user\u2019s net USD1 balance, meaning borrowed USD1 does not count. Binance will take hourly snapshots of balances and use the lowest balance recorded each day to determine a user\u2019s qualifying amount. <\/p>\n<p>Weekly rewards are then calculated using a seven-day average balance and an effective annualized rate set at the time of distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Binance said users must complete identity verification and reside in eligible jurisdictions to participate. Broker accounts are excluded, and reward timing may vary depending on operational conditions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">USD1 and WLFI activity picks up<\/h2>\n<p>Launched in April 2025, USD1 is a multichain stablecoin fully backed one-to-one by US dollars and money market funds. Since its debut, it has seen record growth. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/stablecoin\/world-liberty-financial-usd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Data<\/a> from DeFiLlama shows that the stablecoin\u2019s market capitalization now exceeds $3 billion. <\/p>\n<p>USD1 is available across several blockchains, including Monad, Ethereum, Solana, and Aptos.<\/p>\n<p>WLFI, the main token of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem, has seen a fair share of activity in early 2026. It has recently been added to payroll services, decentralized finance lending platforms, and on-chain liquidity venues.<\/p>\n<p>The token has attracted growing interest and new partnerships, but its connection to U.S. President Donald Trump has drawn criticism, with some citing a potential conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Binance has unveiled a $40 million WLFI airdrop campaign to reward users holding USD1 on the exchange.
