Quick Breakdown
- USD1 adoption push: WLFI and Gate.io’s USD1 Points Program rewards stablecoin activity, offering daily incentives for users.
- WLFI token unlock: 20% of WLFI presale tokens will become tradable on Sept. 1, following a $2.26B raise.
- Spotlight on stability: WLFI faces scrutiny over governance and token transfers, with market confidence hinging on liquidity management post-unlock.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has rolled out a dual initiative that could shape stablecoin adoption and its native token’s trajectory. In partnership with Gate.io, the firm launched the USD1 Points Program, while also activating its Lockbox mechanism in preparation for the upcoming WLFI token unlock.
Gate.io and WLFI Push Stablecoin Adoption With Rewards Program
The USD1 Points Program officially went live on August 25, offering holders of USD1 stablecoin new earning opportunities. Users can collect points by trading, holding USD1, and participating in platform activities, with rewards distributed on a daily cycle.

Gate.io disclosed that balances and trading volumes are refreshed every 24 hours at 8:00 UTC, followed by point allocations at 12:00 UTC. The exchange added that more features will be rolled out in phases, but the current structure already ties USD1 usage to yield products, trading incentives, and launchpad participation.
The move is aimed at strengthening USD1’s position in the market. Since its launch earlier this year, USD1 has quickly climbed into the ranks of the most valuable stablecoins by market capitalization.
WLFI Lockbox Goes Live Ahead of September Unlock
Alongside the rewards program, WLFI launched its Lockbox system, requiring token holders to deposit WLFI ahead of the project’s token unlock scheduled for September 1.
The WLFI presale raised an eye-catching $2.26 billion, making it one of the largest token offerings in 2025. Following a community vote in July, 20% of presale tokens will become tradable once the unlock begins, with trading initially limited to governance-related utilities.
Market Watches WLFI Amid Controversy and Liquidity Concerns
WLFI’s path has not been without challenges. The project has faced criticism over large token transfers and reported links to the Trump family. Despite this, it has secured listings and funding commitments from key backers.
As the unlock approaches, all eyes will be on WLFI’s ability to manage liquidity and protect price stability, factors that could determine its long-term credibility in the competitive crypto landscape.
