Tokenholders of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump-backed crypto project, have voted 99.94% in favor of making its governance tokens tradable, marking a major step toward broader public participation.
The vote concluded on Wednesday, following a proposal launched July 9.

Standby for the full launch plan — coming soon. 🦅 ☝️
The decision enables peer-to-peer and secondary market trading, with WLFI gradually rolling out access.
Initially, only early supporters will be allowed to trade tokens; additional unlocks will require future community votes.
Founder, team, and adviser tokens remain locked under a separate vesting schedule.
WLFI aims to shift from a closed platform to an open-participation model, empowering tokenholders to vote on emissions, incentives, and treasury decisions.
The project held two token sales, raising $550 million by selling 25 billion tokens between October 2024 and January 2025.
TRM Labs will oversee transaction monitoring. WLFI launched in September 2024 and is publicly supported by Donald Trump and his sons.
While Trump disclosed $57 million in profits from WLFI, the family has scaled back its stake to 40% as of June 2025.
The token unlock is seen as a catalyst for ecosystem growth and protocol adoption.
