World Liberty Financial Tokenholders Approve 99.94% Tradeability

Tokenholders of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project, backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, have overwhelmingly voted to make their governance tokens tradable. The proposal, submitted by the WLFI team on July 9, received an approval rate of 99.94% from around 20,900 votes, as posted on the project's website. This decision marks a significant shift in the governance and accessibility of the WLFI token, paving the way for broader investor participation and potential value increase.

The approval of the proposal will enable the WLFI governance token to be traded through peer-to-peer transactions and secondary markets. This move is part of a broader plan to transition from a closed network to one that allows for open participation. The WLFI team emphasized that the token unlock will come in stages, with a full launch plan to be announced soon. Initially, only a portion of the tokens sold to early supporters will be eligible for trading, while the remainder will be subject to a second community vote to determine the unlock and release schedule. Founders, team, and adviser tokens will not be unlocked immediately and will follow a longer schedule with yet-to-be-determined timing and eligibility requirements.

The WLFI token was initially sold in two tranches. The first tranche, opened in October 2024, sold 20 billion tokens at $0.015 each, generating approximately $300 million. The second tranche, opened in January, sold another five billion tokens at $0.05 each, raising $250 million. The token unlock is expected to facilitate speculation and price discovery, aligning long-term token incentives with protocol adoption.

WLFI is more than just a token. The project will create a decentralized lending platform. It also has its own stablecoin known as USD1. WLFI is the governance token that enables voting on essential decisions regarding the way the protocol is operated. When it begins trading, more individuals will likely join the community so that they can have a voice in subsequent votes.

World Liberty Financial raised 590 million in token presales last year. Since then, thousands of investors have been waiting to have an opportunity to trade their tokens. Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, invested in WLFI alone $30 million, demonstrating the extent to which big players are convinced of the project’s vision.

The recent vote indicates the enthusiasm of tokenholders. By opening the trading gate, WLFI will be able to make it more valuable and have more users. The team wants the community to remain engaged throughout the process. Any significant alterations, such as issuing additional tokens, shall always be voted on again by the people.

At this point, the crypto community is waiting to see how things will turn out. The tokens can be traded, and WLFI is not the only project attempting to merge decentralized finance with political backing. The project has additional light and controversy following the open support given to it by President Trump.
