World Liberty Financial's WLFI Token to Start Trading in 6-8 Weeks After 99.94% Approval

World Liberty Financial has announced that its WLFI governance token is set to begin trading within six to eight weeks from July 18. This development follows a community mandate that authorized on-chain transfers and secondary market access. The project's team will utilize this lead time to finalize strategic alignments, including exchange listings and staged unlock schedules, with the aim of ensuring broad participant inclusion.

The path to tradability was cleared by token holders through an overwhelming ballot that concluded on July 16. The voting data indicated that 11.1 billion WLFI, approximately 99.94% of the participating supply, supported the plan to lift transfer restrictions. The governance measure, initially posted on July 4 and transitioned to on-chain voting on July 9, directs the core team to shift WLFI from a closed ledger to a permissionless circulation model. This change allows holders to move tokens peer-to-peer and list them on external venues.

The framework for the transition includes phased unlocks. Early supporters will gain immediate liquidity when trading opens, while founder, team, and adviser allocations will remain locked under a longer vesting curve. A separate community vote will be required to unlock these allocations. Additionally, the second vote will decide emission parameters, incentive programs, and treasury actions once WLFI operates in open markets.

World Liberty Financial is a decentralized finance and digital wealth platform backed by Donald Trump and his family. The platform bridges traditional financial services with on-chain products, including the WLFI token and the USD-pegged stablecoin USD1. The project's objective is to maintain the dollar’s role in global settlement through dollar-denominated stablecoins.

With governance clearance secured, the development team plans to activate transfer functionality, trigger the first tranche of early-supporter unlocks, and prepare a follow-up vote on locked allocations. The interim period will focus on forging strategic deals and securing listings that could reshape WLFI’s market reach. The project also signaled upcoming entry options for users who did not participate in earlier rounds, noting that “new paths are opening for those who missed out.” World Liberty Financial will publish implementation specifics, including any eligibility screens, in a separate update before trading begins.
