World Liberty Financial Token Clears Vote to Become Tradable

ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN, JUL 16 – WLFI token holders approved tradability by 99.94%, enabling secondary market trading and advancing decentralization on the Ethereum-based platform.

  • This week, investors holding the Trump family's WLFI cryptocurrency approved a proposal to list the token for trading on public exchanges.
  • This vote takes place after the token’s debut last autumn as part of a DeFi platform supported by the Trump family, which secured $550 million in initial offerings from qualified and international backers.
  • The transition enables market forces to set WLFI's price, potentially attracting more investors and generating trading fees for exchanges listing the token.
  • By the end of last year, Trump owned roughly 15.75 billion tokens out of the total 100 billion issued and has made about $57 million from selling these tokens, while his family has received 75% of the proceeds from the initial token sales.
  • The vote marks a significant step that could increase liquidity and token value, though critics warn of conflicts of interest given Trump's regulatory influence and financial stake.
