WLFI Eyes Major Listings, Legal Push Underway

WLFI Token Set for Launch with $16 Billion Valuation

In the next two months, World Liberty Financial, the DeFi project associated with President Donald Trump, hopes to formally launch its WLFI. The announcement on Friday follows a governance decision earlier this week that authorized the transferability of WLFI tokens. This could lead to increased interest from investors and potentially higher prices through trading activity.

WLFI Tradability Approved as project Gears Up for Trading

The trading is set to start between six to eight weeks, which means it could start trading in late August. "Community victory! The team posted, "$WLFI tradability is approved," on X. Strategic alignments (alliances, grand stages, smart unlocks) take time to reach their full power, therefore we're aiming for a full awakening in 6–8 weeks. There is something in the works for everyone.

WLFI Governance Enables Transferability & Listings

The WLFI governance measure, which was first posted on July 4, has been transitioned to on-chain voting on July 9. The framework allows holders to move tokens peer-to-peer and list them on external venues. The tokens will be moved from a closed ledger to a permissionless circulation model, allowing holders to move tokens peer-to-peer. The framework introduces phased unlocks, with early supporters receiving immediate liquidity when trading opens, while founder, team, and adviser allocations remain locked under a longer vesting curve that requires a separate community vote. The second vote will also decide emission parameters, incentive programs, and treasury actions once it starts operating in open markets.

Exchange Listings & Legal Strategy Underway

The project is aiming to align multiple components, including major exchange listings, smart unlock schedules, and regulatory compliance. USD1 is already on KuCoin and Binance, and the token may soon follow. The company is crafting controlled releases to reward long-term holders and avoid panic dumps. The project is also actively engaging with policymakers through its legal team and D.C. advisors. The launch is a complex process that must balance market dynamics, political visibility, and financial optics.

Pre-Market Price at $0.16 with Massive Diluted Cap

The unlocking of tokens, which were not transferable at first, will lead to speculation and price discovery. Token currently trades near $0.16 in pre-market trading, with a fully diluted market cap of $16 billion. It has a $5.1 billion diluted market cap. World Liberty raised $550 million selling 25 billion tokens, representing a quarter of the total 100 billion supply. The remaining tokens will be subject to a second community vote to determine the unlock and release schedule.

Governance to Shape Tokenomics and Future Access Options

Token economics and distribution will be shaped by future governance votes, even if tokens do not yet give protocol ownership. The X post announced that the interim period will focus on forming "powerhouse deals" and "epic listings" to reshape it's market reach. It also mentioned new entry options for users who missed earlier rounds. World Liberty Financial will publish implementation details and eligibility screens before trading begins.

In the meantime, USD1, a companion stablecoin, is being developed with indications of possible airdrops for early backers. Noting that "new paths are opening for those who missed out," it also hinted at future entrance options for users who did not take part in previous rounds. Before trading starts, World Liberty Financial will release a separate update with implementation details, including any eligibility screens.
