Token-holders in Trump-affiliated World Liberty Financial approved<\/a> a governance resolution that purports to unlock the token and \u201cmake $WLFI tradable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, the proposal noted that some of the tokens sold to early supporters \u201cwill be eligible to be unlocked upon launch of tradability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it notes that \u201cFounders, team, and advisor tokens will not be unlocked initially and will be subject to a longer unlock schedule than early supporters to demonstrate long-term commitment and alignment with the success of the protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is an important caveat given how many tokens were reserved for team members and Donald Trump<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hey $WLFI<\/a> community! Following our exciting vote announcement we’ve seen your questions and concerns. We’re here to clear the air on tradability, unlocks, and timelines. Let’s dive in.<\/p>\n

After this vote passed, the World Liberty Financial team took to X to note that before it can go live it\u2019s \u201cholding for one of the largest alignments yet, something that will bring massive attention and clarity to the project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team has also claimed that it\u2019s \u201cNOT opening another pre-sale round<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite this claim that the sale isn\u2019t open and will not be opened, there have been investors who have recently been able to come on board, like Aqua 1\/Aqua1.<\/p>\n

The Context: \"\u2753\" Who is Aqua1?<\/p>\n

Aqua1 has become the largest supporter of Trump-affiliated World Liberty Financial, but no one knows what or who it is.<\/p>\n

Some retail investors aren\u2019t excited about the current version of the unlock strategy, taking to the World Liberty Financial governance forums to express their discontent.<\/p>\n

One user, Herminio Coragem, has proposed<\/a> a maximum unlock of 1,000 tokens per year, which would mean that the 22.5 billion tokens held by Trump-affiliated DT Marks DEFI LLC would take approximately 22,500,000 years to unlock completely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For context, Homo sapiens are estimated to have existed for approximately 300,000 years.<\/p>\n

Another proposal suggests<\/a> that those with more than one billion tokens should only receive 1% of their total token supply in the initial unlock.<\/p>\n

Another user claims<\/a> in the forum, \u201cAny continued restriction via allowlist control is an artificial lock that serves no technical or security purpose. It only undermines investor confidence and market transparency.\u201d <\/p>\n

The replies disagree.<\/p>\n

One user goes in the other direction and claims<\/a> that those who purchased in October should \u201cget to sell before those who brought in March.\u201d<\/p>\n

This same user has another post with the title, \u201cCaution for WLFI in avoiding a lawsuit\u201d in which they claim<\/a> that, \u201cWLFI posted in its bylaws that any token purchased will not be tradable for a minimum of one year. <\/p>\n

They add, \u201cMany people bought a lot of tokens with that expectation. If WLFI trades before October 15, they will be in violation of their own bylaws, and possible grounds for a class action lawsuit by those who expected to hold for one year.<\/p>\n

The user concludes, \u201cIt\u2019s called a \u2018bait and switch\u2019 lawsuit<\/strong>. They really should consult a GOOD attorney before releasing the tokens.\u201d<\/p>\n

A different user makes<\/a> the seemingly false claim that, \u201cIt has not happened in the history of crypto, that PAID FOR pre-sale tokens were subject to unlocks\/vesting rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re concerned that this user is losing faith in the World Liberty team, you can rest easy as they add, \u201cMany community members are already disappointed by the delay \u2014 I am not, I trust the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite these users who disagreed in the discussion forum there was broad consensus on the governance proposal with 99.94% of voting tokens voting in favor.<\/p>\n

Broadly, most of the token holders seem excited about the possibility for them to transfer and sell their tokens, however, this controversy has reignited the often quiet discussion forums for this project. <\/p>\n
