Token holders of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) have voted to allow trading, opening new avenues for the project associated with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Voting Results on Token Trading
A vote held on July 9 concluded with an overwhelming 99.94% in favor of unlocking the tokens. This decision will allow WLFI participants to engage in peer-to-peer transactions and access secondary markets. The WLFI team indicated that this move will enhance token holder participation in protocol governance. 'This includes voting on emissions, ecosystem incentives, and future treasury actions. This proposal is the first step in handing greater influence to the community.'
Phased Token Unlock
According to the WLFI team, the token unlock will occur in stages. In the initial phase, only a portion of the tokens sold to early supporters will be eligible for trading. 'The remainder of the tokens will be subject to a second vote by the community to determine the unlock and release schedule,' the team noted. Tokens belonging to founders and team members will also remain locked for a longer period.
Trump Family Reducing Stake in WLFI
WLFI, launched on September 16, 2024, received backing from Donald Trump and his sons. According to official disclosures, Trump reported a profit of $57 million from WLFI, but the Trump family has also reduced its stake in the company to 40% as of June 2025.
The unlocking of WLFI tokens will mark an important step towards opening the project for broader community participation. It may also lead to speculation and increased token value.
