Trump-Supported Crypto Initiative World Liberty Financial Decides to Go Public
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the decentralized finance initiative associated with Trump, has just made a significant move toward granting access to the masses like myself. This week, a motion to make WLFI tradable was approved, garnering an astonishing 99.94% price floor from tokenholders.
Originally, this project operated as an exclusive protocol, reserved solely for accredited investors and the elite class, making this vote a noteworthy transformation.
$WLFI Set to Become Tradable — But When?

Governance Tokens Going Tradable, But Slowly
WLFI tokens will not all be available immediately. The team clarified that only a subset of early investor tokens will be unlocked initially, with the remainder subject to a subsequent vote and an undefined release timeline. A comprehensive launch roadmap is anticipated soon.
In the meantime, tokens owned by founders, advisors, and core team members will stay locked under a longer-term plan, with eligibility terms yet to be determined.
The WLFI team characterized this phase as a shift from “closed to open participation,” allowing regular traders to finally enter the crypto market. Let’s hope they don’t pull a rug like $MELANIA and $TRUMP meme tokens. Recently, the WLFI team also acquired $10m worth of Ethereum:
No listings on centralized exchanges have been announced yet, but the website indicates that strong interest has prompted the team to embark on this “next chapter” of development.
$550 Million Raised, and a Trump Family Hoedown
WLFI has successfully raised a total of $550 million through two crypto token sales. The first, held in October 2024, offered 20 billion tokens priced at $0.015 each. The second, conducted in January, sold an additional 5 billion tokens at $0.05 apiece.
Despite the excitement, the Trump family has been quietly diminishing its stake. A June report to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics showed that Donald Trump recorded a $57 million profit from the venture, while the family’s overall stake in WLFI decreased to 40% by mid-2025.
Nevertheless, the Trump family continues to be associated; they’re linked to WLFI just like a dubious spray tan to the President.
The Road Ahead For WLFI
The unlocking of WLFI’s tokens is merely the beginning. Plans for expansion into lending, borrowing, and ecosystem incentives are already underway. Additionally, TRM Labs has been enlisted to ensure the token’s operations are compliant and traceable.
Once WLFI becomes freely traded, however, be prepared for market fluctuation reminiscent of previous Trump-backed initiatives. Early investors will be eager for returns, and speculators are likely to take over this crypto token in the short run.
