Trump family’s World Liberty Financial token opens for trading

World Liberty Financial tokens, backed by the Trump family, launched on major exchanges with $500 million earned so far; 75% of tokens remain locked to limit immediate sales.

  • The World Liberty tokens, known as $WLFI, began trading on September 1 but fell in value during their first day, dropping about 12% to $0.246 by 6:40 PM GMT according to CoinGecko data.
  • Since launching in 2024, the Trump family and its partners have reportedly made around $500 million from World Liberty Financial, as calculated by Reuters based on the company's terms, transactions, and disclosures.
  • Investors voted in July to make $WLFI tradable, which has spurred trading on major exchanges including Binance, OKX, and Bybit.
  • World Liberty's association with the Trump family has drawn criticism regarding potential conflicts of interest amid their regulation of digital currencies, according to Democratic lawmakers and ethics experts.
