World Liberty Financial Token Holders Approve 99.94% Tradable Vote

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token holders have overwhelmingly approved a governance proposal to make the WLFI token tradable, marking a significant step towards enabling transfers and secondary market access for the project. The vote, which closed on July 16, saw an astonishing 99.94% of token holders casting affirmative ballots, with 11.1 billion tokens voting "Yes." This decisive outcome paves the way for the project to transition from a closed model to one of open participation, allowing holders to move WLFI peer-to-peer and list on secondary venues.

The proposal, titled "Make $WLFI Token Tradable," was posted on the governance forum on July 4 and opened for on-chain voting on July 9. The plan includes staged unlocks, where a portion of the early supporter allocations will become eligible once trading starts. However, founder, team, and adviser allocations will remain locked under a longer schedule, requiring a later community vote for release. The timing and any eligibility screens for these unlocks will be detailed in a separate implementation update.

World Liberty Financial is a decentralized finance and digital wealth platform backed by the Trump family. The platform integrates traditional financial services with on-chain products, including the WLFI governance token and the USD-pegged stablecoin, USD1. The project aims to maintain the dollar and the global settlement layer through US-pegged stablecoins, as stated in one of the initial project statements.

With the authorization in place, the team will now execute transfer functionality, initiate eligible early-supporter unlocks, and schedule a second vote to govern the broader release schedule for locked allocations. Governance participants will also gain a broader role in determining emission parameters, incentive programs, and treasury actions once WLFI transitions to a permissionless circulation model. Project documentation on the forum states that implementation will occur within a reasonable time from passage.

This development signifies a major milestone for World Liberty Financial, as it moves closer to achieving its goal of providing a decentralized financial ecosystem that combines traditional financial services with innovative on-chain products. The overwhelming support from token holders underscores the community's confidence in the project's vision and potential. As the project progresses, it will be interesting to see how the community engages with the new governance structure and the impact it has on the broader decentralized finance landscape.
