WLFI Token Unlock Marks Major Milestone Ahead of Ethereum Trading
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project linked to the Trump family, is set to unlock 20% of its tokens for trading on Ethereum on September 1, 2025. This milestone transitions WLFI from a governance-only asset to a fully tradable token on Ethereum-based platforms.
Token Unlock and Lockbox Activation
Early investors who participated in WLFI’s presale rounds at $0.015 and $0.05 will be eligible to claim 20% of their allocated tokens, representing roughly 5% of the total 100 billion supply. The remaining 80% awaits a governance vote by the WLFI community, which controls future token release schedules. Tokens reserved for the founding team, advisors, and others remain locked.
To facilitate secure unlocking, WLFI has introduced the Lockbox system—a smart contract audited by Cyfrin—that manages token releases safely. The Lockbox went live on August 25, giving investors one week to activate their claims before trading begins on September 1.
Market Outlook and Exchange Listings
WLFI tokens are expected to debut on popular Ethereum-based decentralized exchanges like Uniswap (UNI). Major centralized exchanges including Binance, Bybit, and OKX are anticipated to list WLFI in the near future. Futures markets currently price WLFI between $0.40 and $0.42, implying a fully diluted valuation exceeding $40 billion.
The presale saw strong demand, with over 85,000 wallets contributing an estimated $550 million to $2.26 billion. Despite anticipated price volatility due to relatively thin liquidity, some analysts speculate that WLFI could reach $1 after launch.
Community Governance and Political Attention
The WLFI roadmap emphasizes community governance, with token holders voting on unlock schedules, treasury use, and project direction. In a July vote, 99.94% approved making the token tradable.
However, the project’s ties to the Trump family have attracted political scrutiny, especially following the GENIUS Act’s passage. Regulatory factors remain uncertain and could influence WLFI’s future trajectory.
