Trump-Linked DeFi Platform Proposes WLFI Token Mobility Vote
World Liberty Financial, the DeFi platform associated with Donald Trump's family, has proposed making its WLFI governance token transferable across external markets. Currently restricted to its native ecosystem, the token's lack of tradability has hindered price discovery and governance participation.
The move signals a strategic shift toward decentralization, potentially enabling WLFI trading on DEXs and P2P platforms. Approval WOULD grant token holders expanded voting rights over emissions, incentives, and treasury management—a bid to align with Web3 ethos amid political scrutiny.
Trump's deepening crypto involvement continues to draw Democratic criticism, with recent financial disclosures revealing $57 million in WLFI-related profits. The family reduced its stake from 75% to 55%, as regulatory pressures mount in Washington.
