WLFI tokens, associated with the Trump family's World Liberty Financial initiative, experienced an initial surge but have left investors in a difficult position. According to NS3.AI, only 20% of these tokens are tradable, with the creators retaining control over sell permissions. Over the past five months, WLFI's value has decreased by 54%, leading frustrated investors to describe the situation as akin to being held hostage.
The project, which was initially marketed as a means to democratize finance, has primarily benefited its founders through profits from stablecoins. Meanwhile, promises of financial democratization remain unfulfilled, and the initiative is facing increasing regulatory scrutiny.
