World Liberty Financial (WLFI)
contentmediasolution.com reports that Bybit has announced the fifth and final month of its USD1 Hold & Earn program. Running from September 18 to October 16, 2026, this campaign offers a final opportunity for users to earn WLFI rewards from a 35,000,000 WLFI pool. Participants holding USD1 can earn up to 8% APR without requiring staking, subscription, or lock-up periods.
Daily rewards are calculated based on effective holdings, settlement prices, and the daily APR, with the top 50 holders tracked on a leaderboard. This initiative marks Bybit’s conclusion of engagement with the USD1 ecosystem in 2026. The program follows the April 2026 launch of the USD1 Ecosystem Carnival, which distributed 10,000,000 WLFI across new trading pairs like BTC/USD1 and ETH/USD1.
USD1 is a USD-backed stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial, fully collateralized by short-term U.S. Treasury securities. WLFI serves as the governance token for the World Liberty Financial DeFi protocol. The exchange states its goal is to connect anyone, anywhere to the world’s finance through its AI-powered ecosystem. Trusted by over 80 million users, Bybit combines investing, trading, and payments in a single secure platform.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for WLFI, measured when this story was written up on 18 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
WLFI is currently trading at $0.05840 on Binance spot markets. In the last hour, the buy ratio stands at 54.4%, indicating a strong short-term preference for buyers, though this has cooled to 38.3% over the past four hours. Over the last 24 hours, the buy ratio settles at 46.7%, showing a near-even split between buyers and sellers. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$20,504, suggesting immediate buying interest, but this contrasts with a negative 4-hour delta of -$434,851. The 24-hour volume delta is -$385,383, with a cumulative CVD of -$618,469, indicating that sellers have dominated the flow over the full day. This data shows that while there is a brief burst of buying pressure, the broader trend over the last few hours has been net selling.
The latest daily buy ratio of 43.5% sits at the 10th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 47.8% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for WLFI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Comparing today’s activity to the preceding week reveals a lack of sustained momentum. The 24-hour buy ratio of 46.7% is slightly below the 7-day average of 46.5%, while the 24-hour volume of $5,704,370 is only 0.64 times the weekly average volume. Over the past eight days, there have been zero days of net buying, and the total volume delta is -$4,701,792. Although the price has risen 4.1% over the eight-day period, the consistent negative volume delta suggests this gain is not driven by strong accumulation. This day is ordinary in terms of buy ratio but unusual in its low volume relative to the weekly average, signaling weak conviction behind the recent price movement.
