Binance has officially announced the launch of its USD1 Holdings Airdrop Event, set to commence on January 23, 2026. This initiative aims to reward eligible users with a total of 40 million WLFI tokens, distributed based on their holdings of World Liberty Financial USD (USD1). According to the conclusions drawn in the analytical report, this airdrop is expected to significantly boost user engagement on the platform.
Airdrop Event Details
The airdrop event will run from January 23 to February 20, 2026, with rewards being distributed weekly. Users can participate simply by holding USD1 in their Binance accounts, which can include:
- Spot Wallet
- Savings Wallet
- Margin Wallet as collateral
- USDM Futures Wallet
- Accounts with Multi-Asset Mode enabled
Bonus for Margin Collateral
Users who hold USD1 as margin collateral or for futures positions will receive a significant 12x bonus on their holdings. The total rewards will be divided into four weekly batches of 10 million WLFI tokens each, with the first airdrop scheduled to be credited to users' Binance Spot Wallets on February 2, 2026, covering the period from January 23 to 30.
Eligibility Criteria
To determine eligibility for the rewards, Binance will calculate users' net USD1 holdings by subtracting liabilities from their total assets. It's important to note that borrowed USD1, such as through leveraged borrowing or VIP loans, will not be counted towards eligible holdings.
On January 22, 2026, Binance announced a temporary suspension of all deposits and withdrawals on the BEP20 network for essential maintenance, which will take place on January 23, 2026. This is a crucial step to enhance network security, contrasting with the recent launch of the USD1 Holdings Airdrop Event. For more details, see read more.
