Binance USD1 Event Offers $40 Million in Rewards

Binance has announced a new USD1 event, offering $40 million in rewards over a month-long period. Analyst @ai_9684xtpa posted on X that the event will run from January 23, 2026, at 08:00 to February 20, 2026, at 08:00. Participants can join by holding USD1 in any spot, contract, or leverage account, with contract leverage accounts receiving a 1.2x collateral boost. The reward pool consists of WLFI equivalent to $40 million, distributed over four weeks. The estimated annualized yield is approximately 16%, based on a total USD1 supply of 3 billion, assuming full participation in the event. Reflecting on the previous Binance USD1 event, which offered a 20% annualized yield, the supply increased by 118 million, reaching a market cap of $2.87 billion, with a temporary premium peaking at $1.0039. This time, the event is expected to favor larger holders, with rewards increasing proportionally to the amount held. The market is keen to see how much the USD1 market cap will rise after the month-long event.
