WLFI Token Set to Trade by Late August Following Overwhelming Community Approval

Key Insights:

• 99.94% of WLFI holders approved token transferability in a governance vote that closed July 16.
• Pre-market pricing gives WLFI a $16 billion valuation, ranking it 11th among crypto tokens.
• Trading begins in late August with phased unlocks and extended vesting for team and advisors.

World Liberty Financial announced WLFI token transferability will begin within six to eight weeks following a 99.94% approval vote. The governance proposal passed on July 16, after moving to on-chain voting on July 9. The project confirmed on X, “$WLFI tradability is approved,” and said full transferability is expected by late August.

The voting covered 11.1 billion tokens, nearly the entire circulating supply, according to the proposal forum. WLFI holders will now be able to move tokens peer-to-peer and list them on external exchanges. The transition marks a shift from a closed system to full secondary market access.

Pre-market trading has already begun, and the WLFI token is priced at $0.16 according to data from Galaxy Research. At this level, WLFI’s fully diluted valuation is approximately $16 billion. This places it as the 11th-largest crypto token by market cap, ahead of several established assets.

Token Rollout Strategy and Market Launch Preparations

The WLFI team stated on X that the delay before trading is intended to finalize “strategic alignments,” including major exchange listings and unlock schedules. It emphasized, “This isn’t delay — it’s building legend,” noting that some tokens will unlock immediately while others require an additional vote.

According to project documents, only a portion of the 25 billion tokens sold will be unlocked initially. Founders, advisors, and team allocations remain subject to a longer vesting plan, with future governance required to approve unlock timing and emission schedules.

DT Marks DEFI LLC, a Trump-linked firm, is set to receive 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, valued at roughly $3.6 billion at current prices. However, financial disclosures confirm it held 15.75 billion as of late 2024. Trump and his sons continue to back the platform, although their stake was reduced to 40% as of June 2025.

World Liberty also manages the USD1 stablecoin and has mentioned possible airdrops to early WLFI holders, though no timeline has been provided. TRM Labs has been enlisted to monitor transactions and ensure compliance during and after the trading launch.
