World Liberty Financial Proposes WLFI Token Transferability
World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform backed by the Trump family, is set to make a meaningful move. The firm plans to make its WLFI token transferable for the first time.This proposal is now open for community voting.
Once approved, WLFI tokens will be tradable on peer-to-peer and secondary markets. This change will grant partial liquidity to early supporters and introduce a broader token-based governance system.
founders and insiders, including Trump family members who own 60% of the tokens, will stay under lock-up periods. This prevents insider sell-offs. The move marks a new phase for the Trump-backed DeFi project, aiming to boost community ownership and participation.
Announced on July 4, the proposal aligns with the spirit of Independence Day. The firm stated, “On this Independence Day, we’re making history. The proposal to make $WLFI tradable is now live. Crypto is coming home — and there’s no better day to let freedom ring.”
WLFI’s governance transition aims to allow greater token utility access and community control over protocol decisions. The governance framework will let token holders vote on emissions, ecosystem incentives, and treasury actions. “This would mark a major milestone in the advancement of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem,” the proposal notes. It aims to open the door for broader community participation and protocol development.
The platform cites product development progress, ecosystem partnerships, and brand awareness as reasons for the timing. Community members and partners have shown strong demand for WLFI tradability. Early supporters will get partial access upon launch, with remaining tokens subject to community-persistent release schedules.The phased approach addresses concerns about token launches where insiders can promptly liquidate holdings. World Liberty Financial’s structure delays insider access while providing early community access to trading markets.
Token holders can vote “YES” for tradability or “NO” to maintain the current non-transferability. If approved, World Liberty Financial will execute transferability, initiate distribution for eligible early supporters, and begin community governance with additional unlock votes.Ecosystem expansion and partner integrations will continue alongside trading functionality.
Trump and his affiliates hold a 60% stake in WLFI. The Trump Institution insists there’s no conflict of interest. Trump is credited as co-founder emeritus, with his three sons listed as co-founders. The proposal positions tradability as “a defining moment” for the platform,bringing it closer to building “a more open,clear,and powerful financial system.”
