Trump-Linked WLFI Tokens Approved for Trading After 99.94% Vote
Key Takeaways
- WLFI tokenholders voted 99.94% in favor of allowing trading on peer-to-peer and secondary markets;
- Only part of the early-sale tokens will unlock, with future unlocks pending another community vote;
- TRM Labs will monitor WLFI transactions as tokenholders gain new governance powers over project decisions.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency project linked to US President Donald Trump, will allow its tokens to be traded.
A vote held by tokenholders ended on July 16, with nearly all participants, 99.94%, agreeing to unlock the tokens. This change will let holders trade through peer-to-peer exchanges and on secondary markets.
According to the proposal, tokenholders will gain the ability to vote on key matters, including how new tokens are issued, how ecosystem rewards are managed, and how the project’s funds are used.

The WLFI team stated in a post on X that only part of the tokens sold in the earliest funding round will become tradable. The remaining portion of those tokens, as well as all tokens set aside for founders, team members, and advisers, will stay locked.
The team explained that another vote will decide when and how the rest of the supply can be released. No dates or specific conditions have been set yet for these future unlocks.
Additionally, WLFI has partnered with TRM Labs, a blockchain analytics firm, to oversee transactions and ensure they are properly monitored.
WLFI raised funds through two private sales. The first, in October 2024, offered 20 billion tokens at $0.015 each and raised about $300 million. The second, in January, sold another five billion tokens at $0.05 each, which generated $250 million.
Recently, the Official Trump (TRUMP) token generated $172 million in trading fees across 10 major crypto exchanges. How? Read the full story.
