The world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance has rolled out a new promotion that lets users earn rewards simply by holding the USD1 stablecoin. The total prize pool stands at $40 million worth of WLFI tokens, spread across four weeks. This is a low-risk opportunity for stablecoin holders to generate passive yield in a volatile market.
The campaign kicked off on January 23, 2026, and runs until February 20, 2026. Each week Binance will distribute $10 million in WLFI tokens proportionally among eligible participants based on their USD1 holdings. The first rewards (covering January 23–30) will be airdropped on February 2, with subsequent payouts every Friday by 18:00 UTC. Rewards land directly in users’ Spot accounts, rounded down to 8 decimal places.
How to Participate and Maximize Rewards
To qualify, maintain a net balance (assets minus liabilities) of at least 0.01 USD1 in any of the following:
- Spot
- Funding
- Margin (cross, isolated, or portfolio margin, where USD1 is used as collateral)
- USDⓈ-M Futures (including multi-asset mode, where USD1 serves as collateral)
Key boost: Balances in Margin or Futures receive a 1.2x multiplier, significantly increasing effective APR. The multiplier applies as long as you keep ≥0.01 USD1 in a Margin or Futures account - even with leverage or open positions. Daily qualifying balance = the lowest USD1 snapshot from hourly checks each day. Weekly rewards are calculated using your 7-day average qualifying balance × the weekly effective APR × 7 ÷ 365.
Example: With a base APR around 20% (boosted to 24% via multiplier), a user holding 10,000 USD1 on Spot + 20,000 USD1 on Margin could earn roughly $130 worth of WLFI in one week. Note: Borrowed/liability USD1 (e.g., margin loans) is excluded from the qualifying balance—if net assets drop to zero or below, no rewards are earned that day.
Participants must complete KYC and reside in an eligible jurisdiction (the campaign excludes the US, EU countries, Russia, UK, Canada, Japan, and many others - see the full list in Binance’s official announcement). Broker accounts are not eligible. Binance may disqualify users for market manipulation, wash trading, or other violations and reserves the right to modify terms.
What is WLFI?
WLFI is the governance token of World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform launched in 2024 with ties to the Trump family. It enables holders to vote on protocol decisions for a system that blends traditional banking with blockchain - offering lending, borrowing, and DeFi/TradFi integration to make finance more accessible. WLFI trades on open markets and has seen recent price momentum from planned buyback-and-burn mechanisms.
If you have idle stablecoins sitting around, this campaign offers attractive yield with virtually no additional risk.
