Recently, there have been rumors that 'WLFI (World Liberty Financial) stock may go public before the token circulation.' Let's analyze the possibilities.
First, it's important to clarify that an IPO (Initial Public Offering), direct listing, or reverse merger is unlikely.
1. When searching for 'World Liberty Financial' or 'WLFI' on SEC EDGAR, only one Form D filing was found (CIK: 0002043140, date: 2024-10-30). Form D is a notice of private securities offering under Rule 506 (e.g., for token presales) and does not involve public listing. It discloses basic company information (such as EIN: 995049028, registered in Delaware), but does not require detailed financial disclosures and is not equivalent to IPO preparation.
2. There is no trace 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 submission in early 2025). Moreover, it usually takes 4–6 months from the public S-1 filing to listing. Even if we see the documents one day, listing would still take several months afterward.
3. If it were a reverse merger, Form S-4 (merger registration statement), Form 8-K (current report), Super 8-K, etc., would be needed, and trading under the regulatory market would need to be at least 1 year. Currently, there is no trace of such filings.
If they really want to go public in these two months, the only possible approach would be to mimic TRON's listing strategy, where interested parties control a listed shell company, changing the stock code to WLFI. However, this WLFI and World Liberty Financial, Inc. currently have no substantial relationship; it's just verbally claimed to be one, and the two would need to merge slowly afterwards, essentially getting on board first and paying later. TRON managed this process in a month, and WLFI might take less than a month to follow.
If WLFI is not particularly anxious about going public, there's no need to resort to the latter method; we should see if they are indeed in a hurry to list.
