The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) platform, associated with the family of U.S. President Donald Trump, has officially initiated a vote regarding the launch of trading for its governance token WLFI. The aim of this initiative is to enable P2P transactions and the full functionality of the token in the secondary market, as well as to transition the project to an open participation model for a broader user base.

Token Unlocking Conditions and Long-Term Strategy
According to the voting conditions, if the community approves the start of trading, a portion of the tokens owned by early investors will be unlocked. The remaining assets will remain under community control until the next vote, during which a detailed unlocking schedule will be determined. Meanwhile, the tokens of the team, founders, and advisors will remain locked, emphasizing the platform’s strategic long-term approach to project development.
“The assets of the team, founders, and advisors will not be unlocked for now — this way, WLFI demonstrates a long-term commitment to the project,” the statement reads.
Implementation Stages and Future Plans
Over the past year, WLFI has made significant progress: new partnerships have been established, brand recognition has increased, and the ecosystem has expanded. Representatives of the platform note that the launch of trading is a response to high demand within the community, as well as a logical step for further development.
The next steps outlined by the WLFI team include:
- implementation of WLFI trading functionality;
- user verification through the KYC platform Sumsub;
- beginning the distribution of tokens among eligible investors;
- conducting a second vote regarding the remaining tokens;
- integrating new partners and expanding the ecosystem;
- monitoring activity with TRM Labs.
The voting is already open, and participants can choose between launching trading or keeping the WLFI token as an internal asset of a closed network. It is worth noting that at the end of June 2025, the platform team announced its intention to make the WLFI token transferable in the near future.
