Binance to List World Liberty Financial ($WLFI)
Binance will list World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) on May 22, 2025, at 12:00 (UTC), and open trading for the USD1/USDT spot pair at the same time. Users can now deposit USD1 in preparation for trading. The listing fee for USD1 is 0 BNB. As per the site, withdrawals for USD1 will be available from May 23, 2025, at 12:00 (UTC).
At present, WLFI, is trading at $0.081969, after witnessing an 11.64% decline in the past 24 hours.
WLFI’s current market cap stands at $19.76 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $10.67K. The listing news doesn’t come as a surprise, as WLFI had recently issued 113,479,210 USD1, its USD-pegged stablecoin, on BNB Chain. This accounts for 88.68% of the total circulating supply, according to Dune. Even though many crypto projects experience a price spike following a listing announcement on major exchanges like Binance, this does not currently seem to be the case with $WLFI.
WLFI Project’s Strategic Moves
In another move, World Liberty Financial acquired BUILDon (B) tokens to support its development team and promote adoption of USD1 as a base trading pair. BUILDon, a memecoin on Binance Smart Chain, was recently listed on Binance Alpha. Following the announcement, BUILDon’s price temporarily surged by over 140%.
In a separate development, WLFI team recently announced the USD1 airdrop for WLFI token holders. According to the official proposal, the airdrop will help Trump’s family crypto project test the technical functionality of its airdrop on-chain.
WLFI and Trump Surrounded by Political Controversy and Public Reaction
The Trump-backed WLFI project has always garnered attention from the crypto community, not just for its business but also for its political ties. US President Donald Trump’s involvement, with substantial investment from TRON founder Justin Sun, has even ruffled many feathers from political opponents. Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren, recently shared her concerns over potential conflicts of interest, and alleged that Trump and his family may be ‘profiting’ from political influence.
Senator Warren even went on to call for a congressional investigation into if Trump was involved in insider trading or market manipulation, specifically citing other crypto projects from Trump (like $TRUMP and $MELANIA).
Warren also requested the US Office of Government Ethics and relevant financial regulators to examine the ethical and legal implications of these ventures.
