Trump-Linked Token WLFI Launches Amid Market Speculation
The cryptocurrency market witnessed a politically charged entry as World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a token associated with former U.S. President Donald Trump, commenced trading. Founded in September 2024 by real estate developer Steve Witkoff and crypto influencers, the project had initially drawn skepticism due to its white paper's ambiguous tradability clause.
Early investors face partial liquidity, with only 20% of holdings unlocked at launch. The remaining 80% hinges on community governance decisions—a structure mirroring decentralized finance protocols. Analysts estimate WLFI's debut market capitalization at $110 billion, acknowledging its niche as a politically infused digital asset rather than a direct competitor to established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
