Trump-Backed Crypto Project World Liberty Financial Votes to Go Public
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance project linked to former President Donald Trump, has approved a proposal to make its governance tokens tradable. The vote passed with 99.94% support from tokenholders, marking a shift from its previous closed-network model limited to accredited investors.
The project will initially unlock a portion of WLFI tokens, with the remainder subject to a future vote and release schedule. Founder and team allocations remain locked under longer-term vesting terms. This transition aims to democratize access, though skeptics recall the collapse of Trump-linked meme tokens like $MELANIA and $TRUMP.
No concrete timeline exists for exchange listings, but the move signals growing institutional interest in politicized crypto assets. The approval comes amid heightened scrutiny of celebrity-endorsed tokens following recent regulatory actions.
