Ethereum News Today: World Liberty Finance Launches WLFI on Ethereum with $2.26B Presale

World Liberty Finance (WLF) has officially confirmed that its WLFI token will launch on the Ethereum mainnet on September 1, 2025, with spot trading set to commence at 12:00 PM UTC on major exchanges [1]. The token forms part of a $2.26 billion presale that has drawn considerable attention from the decentralized finance (DeFi) community [3]. At launch, only 20% of the presale tokens will be unlocked, with the remaining supply gradually becoming available over time [2]. This phased release strategy is intended to manage market volatility and promote a more controlled and stable entry into the market.

The WLFI token has garnered high-profile support, including from Donald Trump Jr., whose involvement has intensified speculation about the token’s potential market impact [5]. The token is described as decentralized, with a governance model that emphasizes community participation through voting mechanisms [4]. Decentralized and centralized exchanges, including Binance, have indicated interest in listing WLFI, signaling a significant inflow of liquidity and trading activity [7]. The initial unlock is expected to create opportunities for early investors to engage in trading while also testing the token’s market resilience [6].

Analysts have noted that the gradual unlock approach may help prevent a sharp price correction immediately following the launch [8]. The Ethereum-based infrastructure of WLFI aligns with the broader trend of blockchain adoption, potentially appealing to a diverse range of DeFi participants [9]. The token’s presale success and prominent backing have already generated bullish sentiment in related markets, with some altcoin-linked assets experiencing price surges [3].

The WLFI launch represents a pivotal moment for both the issuer and the DeFi ecosystem at large. By deploying the token on Ethereum’s mainnet, World Liberty Finance underscores its commitment to building a secure and scalable platform for digital financial services [10]. As the September 1 launch date approaches, market participants are closely watching for early signals that could indicate broader market reactions and long-term trends.
