World Liberty Ethereum Tokens Supported by Trump Prepare for Market Launch
**World Liberty Financial's WLFI Token Set for Public Trading**
In a significant move for the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, World Liberty Financial (WLF) has announced that its native token, WLFI, will become tradable to the general public following a community governance vote on July 16, 2025. The decision, which saw a staggering 99.94% approval, paves the way for broader community participation, access, and protocol development.
Initially, WLFI was a non-transferable governance token, restricted to governance functions. However, the recent vote has cleared the path for public trading, making it an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, expected to be tradable on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and possibly centralized exchanges. The exact platforms where WLFI will first be available have not yet been specified, but updates are anticipated as the launch plan is finalized.
The launch plan, including the specific date(s) for when trading will begin, has not been publicly disclosed yet. World Liberty Financial promises a full launch plan soon, and it is advised to keep a close eye on the project's official channels for the latest updates.
World Liberty Financial, led by DeFi builders Chase Herro and Zak Folkman, along with the Trump and Witkoff families, is a project aimed at providing crypto lending and borrowing services within the DeFi sphere. The project's website notes strong demand from community members and partners for this move, which is intended to begin the next phase of community ownership and engagement.
Holders of WLFI tokens can vote to make changes to how the project is run, and these tokens also have a value that can be traded and sold via exchanges. A portion of the initially available WLFI tokens were only accessible to accredited investors, but some of these tokens will now be unlocked for sale.
The DeFi space, which aims to replace traditional financial services using blockchain technology, has been a subject of praise by those behind the World Liberty Financial project. However, it is important to note that the DeFi industry is known for its risks, including hacks and major investor losses.
Lawmakers, particularly Democrats, have expressed concerns about President Trump's conflicts of interest with the project. As of the time of writing, World Liberty Financial has yet to launch, and the project has not responded to Decrypt's request for more information. Stay tuned for further developments in this exciting new chapter for World Liberty Financial and the DeFi industry.
