Key Takeaways:
- WLFI will unlock 27 billion tokens at launch, far surpassing the initially expected 3.69 billion.
- 20% of private sale tokens are immediately unlocked, while the rest follow a flexible governance-based vesting model.
- WLFI derivatives saw nearly $950 million in open interest ahead of the token’s market debut.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance platform linked to the Trump family, is launching with a circulating supply of 27 billion tokens, far surpassing earlier estimates of 3.69 billion.
CoinMarketCap confirmed the figure with WLFI and stated that it will serve as the official reference for major exchanges including Binance, Gate, and MEXC, which begin trading today.
WLFI has a total supply of 100 billion tokens, meaning more than a quarter will be circulating at launch.
The project’s vesting structure allows 20% of tokens purchased during the $0.015 and $0.05 private sales to be unlocked immediately, giving early investors liquidity.
The remaining 80% is subject to community governance, allowing token holders to vote on future unlock schedules.
This governance-first model was reinforced in July, when 99% of voters approved a proposal to make WLFI tradable, though allocations for founders and advisers remain locked.
