The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project, co-founded by US President Donald Trump's family, has announced a proposal aimed at making its tokens transferable on the crypto market.
Proposal for Token Transferability
WLFI has proposed to make its governance token transferable and tradable on secondary markets, including decentralized exchanges and P2P platforms. This proposal aims to shift to an 'open participation' model, as the tokens currently operate within a closed system, limiting their trading and price discovery opportunities.
Trump Family Cuts Stake in WLFI
The Trump family has reduced its stake in WLFI by 20% in June, as part of their financial management strategy. Initially, DT Marks DeFi LLC, which manages the family's investment in WLFI, held a 75% stake, and has been gradually decreasing this stake since December 2025.
Political Implications for Trump and the Crypto Industry
Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest regarding Trump's cryptocurrency ventures. In response, Congressman Adam Schiff has introduced the COIN Act, aimed at limiting the president and his family’s involvement in the crypto industry.
The WLFI initiative for token transferability and the reduction of the Trump family's stake in the company highlight changes in decentralized finance and the challenges faced by the crypto industry under strict regulation.
