- WLFI token tradable proposal targets DeFi expansion.
- Community vote could enable WLFI trading on markets.
- The Trump family holds a significant stake in the DeFi project.
World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform that is backed by the family of Donald Trump, has launched a community vote to enable its WLFI token to be traded on secondary markets. This idea was initiated on July 4, 2025, to change the non-transferability status of the token, which was an initial status, to increase the involvement of the community and its interaction with the market.
The vote, which is in the project governance forum, aims to get the approval of the WLFI token holders to allow them to trade tokens outside of the closed ecosystem of the platform. In the event that this change is approved, it would enable investors to sell or trade their tokens in secondary markets that could, in turn, enhance liquidity and price discovery.
WLFI Token Tradability Proposal
The proposal of World Liberty Financial is an answer to the demand of the community to have a more flexible option with the WLFI token. Originally introduced as a non-transferable governance token, WLFI did not provide economic power or trading opportunities to its holders, as they were only able to vote on the decisions of the platform. The new proposal is meant to expand participation in the token to the wider market, according to the vision of the platform to expand DeFi reach.
The vote will clarify whether the tokens bought at the October 2024 public sale can be traded. Locking of tokens of founders, advisors, and the Trump family will, however, be on a longer unlocking schedule to avert immediate selling off. This framework is expected to align the issue of community access and the long-term stability of the project.
The platform, which is based on the Aave V3 infrastructure of Ethereum, has secured large amounts of funding in token sales. World Liberty Financial has sold 20 billion WLFI tokens since it launched and raised 300 million dollars, with the remaining 5 billion tokens being sold by March 2025, raising 250 million dollars. The project’s visibility has also been enhanced by high-profile investors such as Tron founder Justin Sun, who bought 75 million dollars worth of WLFI.
Impact on DeFi and Trump’s Crypto Venture
The decision to make the WLFI token tradable would transform the role of World Liberty Financial in DeFi. Decentralized finance is meant to be encouraged by the platform, which supports lending, borrowing, and a USD1 stablecoin. Having a circulation of USD1 in the form of 2.1 billion in circulation, it is the seventh-largest stablecoin, as provided by DefiLlama.
The proposal tests the project’s claim of community-driven governance. A successful vote may bring new investors, and the token holders may take advantage of the demand in the market. Nevertheless, the decision has raised controversy because of the possible conflict of interest, as the Trump family stands to gain greatly, owning 22.5 billion WLFI tokens and 60 percent revenue of the company.
Critics are wondering whether early adopters such as the Trump family will sell or keep their tokens in case trading is allowed. A vote will indicate the direction World Liberty Financial takes: whether it is community-governed or the interests of insiders. Given the partnerships with such companies as Ethena Labs and BitGo, the project is ambitious and tries to be integrated into existing DeFi systems.
The token’s market launch will depend on the vote. World Liberty Financial has not provided any technical specifications or trading platform, though the migration could make WLFI one of the most important players in DeFi by appealing to the Trump brand to promote adoption.
