Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Launches Major USD1 Airdrop - Unchained

World Liberty Financial, a crypto platform backed by U.S. President Donald Trump and run by members of his family, carried out a massive airdrop tied to its stablecoin, USD1, on Wednesday.

Around 85,000 wallets that participated in the sale of the organization’s governance token, WLFI, and which passed a know-your-customer process received the airdrop

Each wallet was credited with $47 of USD1 stablecoins, a figure chosen to reference Trump’s position as the 47th President of the United States. The total value of the airdrop was an estimated $4 million.
