The crypto ecosystem has just received another shock that has shaken rankings and trading tables: World Liberty, the controversial project driven by supporters of the pro-Trump movement, has just announced that it will unlock the full transferability of its WLFI token within a maximum of two months. The news, confirmed today by The Block, comes just as the tokenโwhich is still trading restricted in pre-listing marketsโhas skyrocketed, reaching #11 in global market capitalization, surpassing veteran projects like Polkadot and Avalanche.
The WLFI Token: Between Politics and Crypto Fervor
World Liberty was born as a tokenized sociopolitical movement that sought to channel economic support and a blockchain community around the libertarian and conservative narrative of the United States. Its WLFI (World Liberty Freedom Initiative) token began as a non-transferable asset for verified members, limiting trading and keeping massive speculation in check.
But that's about to change: in its official statement, the World Liberty team confirmed that it plans to fully unlock transferability, allowing WLFI to circulate freely on centralized exchanges and DEXs on a large scale.
Why is this unlocking so explosive?
From the outset, the WLFI was the subject of controversy: many analysts criticized the blending of partisan politics with crypto incentives. Others saw it as a new model of tokenized community funding, using blockchain to support campaigns, content, and events without relying on traditional structures.
Pre-market trading was already rife: OTC investors and private pools were pushing its price to levels that today put the WLFI in the orbit of $40 billion in market cap, approaching historical Top 10 names like Dogecoin and Tron. The official unlocking of transferability will be the final straw for a storm of liquidity, volatility, and, likely, renewed regulatory criticism.
The risk: What will regulators say?
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has already closely followed this politically tokenized experiment. Although no direct action has been taken so far, experts warn that opening the door to a freely transferable token with such clear political ties could reignite the debate over crypto election financing and potential price manipulation.
However, for holders, the news is a milestone. It means they will be able to sell, swap, or stake WLFI without restrictions, unlocking the potential for massive profitsโor lossesโin a context where the pro-Trump narrative has fueled its hype on Telegram, X, and alternative crypto forums.
Topic opinion:
WLFI is proving that the tokenization of social and political movements is no longer a theoretical experiment. It's real, it's growing fast, and, like it or not, it's attracting masses willing to invest in something that combines identity, ideology, and blockchain.
The risk is great: opening up transferability could trigger speculation and put the token in the crosshairs of financial watchdogs. But it also demonstrates the power of DAOs and on-chain communities, capable of challenging old fundraising structures.
