In a landmark move, World Liberty Financial has officially unlocked its native governance token, $WLFI, for trading after a governance vote passed with overwhelming 99.94% community support.
🔓 From Non-Transferable to Tradable:
Originally launched as a non-transferable governance token, $WLFI gave holders voting power within the ecosystem. But with the proposal submitted on July 9, 2025, the token is now fully tradable — enabling speculation, price discovery, and future exchange listings.
💡 Key Proposal Highlights:
• Only early supporter tokens from the $0.015 and $0.05 sale rounds are unlocked for now.
• The remaining 100B total supply will be unlocked in future phases based on separate community votes.
• Team, advisor, and founder tokens will follow a longer vesting schedule to reflect long-term commitment.
📈 Why It Matters:
The shift to tradability marks a major milestone in the WLFI ecosystem. It enhances market liquidity, boosts community participation, and allows value discovery in open markets.

TRUMP’S WLFI HOLDINGS UNDER FIRE
Former President Donald Trump is facing renewed criticism after a financial disclosure revealed he held 15.75 billion WLFI tokens as of late last year — potentially netting $390 million from early WLFI sales.
💼 According to Bloomberg, crypto ventures now account for $620 million of Trump’s $6.4B net worth, including stakes in Bitcoin mining and stablecoin projects.
Top Democrats — including Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Maxine Waters — are calling it a “massive conflict of interest” and have urged the SEC to investigate Trump’s crypto affiliations.
🎙️ In response, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly stated that Trump’s crypto assets are held in a trust managed by his children, reaffirming his commitment to making America the global crypto leader.
An ethics white paper released by the Trump Organization claims the president is not restricted by the Constitution from owning private businesses. However, the external ethics adviser hired to oversee this arrangement has now reportedly been fired by Trump himself.
