World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a blockchain project associated with Donald Trump's family, has announced that its WLFI token will become tradable and transferable starting September 1, 2025. This marks the first time token holders can access their assets since participating in presale rounds last year at prices of $0.015 and $0.05.
The token will debut on the Ethereum network with an initial unlock of 20% of presale allocations. The remaining 80% will not be released automatically but will be subject to community governance votes, a mechanism designed to encourage long-term engagement and mitigate short-term selling pressure. Tokens allocated to the founding team, advisors, and strategic partners remain locked according to vesting schedules.
In a significant development, Binance has announced pre-market futures trading for WLFI, providing early market exposure before the token's full trading launch. The project plans to list on decentralized exchanges first, followed by centralized platforms, with specific exchange partners to be revealed in coming weeks.
To facilitate the distribution, WLFI has developed a secured wallet feature called Lockbox, audited by Web3 security firm Cyfrin. Token holders must activate their wallets through the Lockbox system on the project's website between August 25 and September 1 to claim their assets. The project has pre-screened presale wallets for compliance, with only a small number restricted for failing requirements.
