Recently, there have been rumors that 'WLFI (World Liberty Financial)' stock may go public before the token circulation. Let's analyze the possibility.
First, let's clarify that IPO listing/direct listing/reverse merger are all unlikely.
1. When searching for 'World Liberty Financial' or 'WLFI' in SEC EDGAR, only a Form D filing was found (CIK: 0002043140, date: 2024-10-30). Form D is a notice of private securities offering under Rule 506 exemption (e.g., for token presale) and does not involve a public listing. It discloses basic company information (such as EIN: 995049028, registered in Delaware) but does not require detailed financial disclosure, and does not equate to IPO readiness.
2. There are no traces of S-1, S-1/A, or 8-A filings. If WLFI were preparing for an IPO, these documents should have been made public (assuming filed in early 2025). Moreover, it typically takes 4–6 months from S-1 public filing to listing. Even if we see the documents one day, the listing would still be months afterward.
3. If it were a reverse merger, it would require Form S-4 (merger registration statement), Form 8-K (report of significant events), Super 8-K, etc., and would need to trade on the regulatory market for at least one year. Currently, there are no such traces.
If they really want to go public in the next two months, the only possible way would be to imitate TRON's listing approach, where interested parties control a shell company, and the stock code is changed to WLFI. However, this WLFI has no substantive relationship with World Liberty Financial, Inc.; it's merely stated to be one, and further merging would need to happen gradually, which is akin to getting on the bus and buying a ticket later. TRON managed this in a month, and WLFI could potentially do it in less than a month.
If WLFI is not particularly anxious about the stock listing, there's no need to resort to the latter. Let's see if they are indeed in a hurry to get listed.
