A new airdrop proposal by Trump family-linked crypto platform World Liberty Financial, also popular as WLFI, is gaining near-unanimous support among token holders, as the firm gears up to reward early backers with a test distribution of its freshly launched USD-pegged stablecoin, USD1 . The proposal , published on May 6 on the WLFI governance forum, outlines a plan to test WLFI’s smart contract-based airdrop mechanism in a live environment. The idea is simple: distribute a small, yet-to-be-finalized amount of USD1 stablecoin to WLFI token holders who qualify based on an internal snapshot. But beyond a gesture of gratitude, the firm says the trial is a critical step in validating the technical underpinnings of its distribution infrastructure. “Testing the airdrop mechanism in a live setting is a necessary step to ensure smart contract functionality and readiness,” the proposal reads. “This distribution also serves as a meaningful way to thank our earliest supporters and introduce them to USD1.” The vote is open until May 14, but it’s already clear where sentiment lies—an overwhelming 99.97% of the 2.6 billion votes cast so far support the move. Only a minuscule 0.03% have voted against it. While no specific airdrop date has been confirmed, the proposal notes that WLFI retains the right to suspend or cancel the test at any point, adding a layer of flexibility in what appears to be a closely monitored rollout. Stablecoin Momentum and Global Currency Shifts WLFI’s stablecoin ambitions come at a time of explosive growth in the broader dollar-denominated stablecoin market , which surged past a $230 billion market cap in April, per Citigroup data. Dominated by Tether (USDT) and USDC, the space remains heavily USD-centric—but that’s beginning to shift. Other nations are entering the fray with their own fiat-backed digital assets. A bu Dhabi recently announced plans for a dirham-pegged stablecoin, while a Russian finance ministry official suggested a ruble-backed token as a potential workaround after the U.S. froze wallets linked to sanctioned Russian entities. Political Backing Fuel WLFI Rise Since launching in September, WLFI has conducted two successful public sales, raising $550 million across 85,000 registered token holders. With the Trump family’s name reportedly behind it , the project is drawing both investor attention and political intrigue as it navigates the volatile world of digital finance. Whether USD1 takes off as a viable competitor remains to be seen, but the upcoming airdrop is likely to serve as an early litmus test.
