What is the WLFI token and why did its price jump?
WLFI token is the governance token for World Liberty Financial, a DeFi platform tied to the Trump family. The token’s trading capability recently launched, revaluing previously locked tokens and causing an immediate price spike from prior private-sale prices to just over $0.30 before settling near $0.26.
How many WLFI tokens do the Trumps own and what is that stake worth?
The president and affiliated family members collectively own 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, disclosed by World Liberty Financial. That holding represents nearly 24% of the total 100 billion token supply and was valued at approximately $5.96 billion at the intraday peak price of just over $0.30.
WLFI was sold publicly in rounds at $0.015 and $0.05 per token, raising about $500 million in total from early sales. The current fully diluted valuation (FDV) based on a 100B supply exceeds $26 billion at current market prices.
When will reserved WLFI tokens unlock and what does vesting look like?
World Liberty Financial states 33.5 billion WLFI reserved for the team are locked and will unlock via a vesting schedule that remains “TBD.” The absence of a published vesting timetable raises governance and market-liquidity questions for investors assessing concentration risk.
Without a clear vesting timeline, it is unclear whether large holders can sell significant stakes immediately or will be subject to long-term lockups that mitigate short-term dilution.
