Trump-Backed WLFI Project Unveils Token Unlock Strategy—Sidesteps Private Sale Repeat
Politics meets DeFi as the controversial WLFI project—linked to former President Trump—drops its token unlock roadmap. No second chances for private sale participants this time.
Locked and loaded: The team reveals a staggered release schedule designed to prevent market dumping. Smart contracts enforce the rules—no backdoor exits for early investors.
Meanwhile, crypto skeptics whisper about another 'utility token' with more connections than use cases. But when has that ever stopped a bull run?

- No team, founder, or advisor tokens will unlock at launch.
- Only a part of the early public sale tokens at $0.015 and $0.05 will unlock first.
- The community will decide future unlocks through a public vote.
WLFI, a DeFi project with ties to the TRUMP family, has finally responded to the growing wave of questions from its community. The team addressed several hot topics, including token unlocks, trading availability, and the possibility of more private sales. In a detailed thread, they made it clear that none of the tokens held by co-founders, team members, or advisors will unlock when the project launches.
Hey $WLFI community! Following our exciting vote announcement we've seen your questions and concerns. We're here to clear the air on tradability, unlocks, and timelines. Let's dive in.
— WLFI (@worldlibertyfi) July 19, 2025Instead, only a limited portion of the public sale tokens, those bought at $0.015 and $0.05, will be released. These early backers were part of the project’s initial wave of supporters, and the team has chosen to reward them first. The rest of the tokens from these sales will stay locked until a post-launch vote decides how and when they’ll be unlocked.
The statement comes after rising speculation that WLFI might favor insiders or allow early unlocks. But with this move, the team is trying to set a tone of fairness and keep trust at the center of their launch plans.
No New Private Sale, Exchange Rewards Instead
WLFI also shut down any talk about a second round of private sales. They made it clear that the focus now is not on bringing in more early investors but on building partnerships with major crypto exchanges. A new reward program is in the works that will allow WLFI holders to earn rewards directly on platforms they already use.
More rumor-busting: We're NOT opening another pre-sale round. Instead, we're partnering with major exchanges to create a $WLFI reward program – allowing you to earn on platforms you already use and trust. A new path for everyone to join the liberty movement!
— WLFI (@worldlibertyfi) July 19, 2025This shift shows the project’s strategy is moving towards building broader community engagement and strengthening its relationship with established exchanges. WLFI has not yet revealed which exchanges are involved, but they hinted at a major announcement soon.
The team also mentioned that they’re waiting for a key alignment, something big that could shine more light on the project and set the stage for a stronger, longer-term future. While the launch may take a bit more time, the message is that patience will bring better results.
WLFI Empowers Community to Decide Token Unlock Timeline
Once WLFI is officially launched, the team will put the next steps in the hands of the community. First, WLFI holders from the public sale rounds will vote on how the rest of their tokens should be unlocked. After that, a separate vote will decide the timeline for unlocking tokens held by the team, founders, and advisors.
This two-step voting process gives control back to the community. WLFI has emphasized that they’re not in a rush and want every MOVE to support the project’s future. With this approach, the team is aiming to grow slowly but with the community at the core of every decision.
