- World Liberty Financial's non-transferable governance token will be offered exclusively to accredited investors under SEC Regulation D.
- The token's distribution will allocate 63% to the public, 17% for user rewards, and 20% to the project's team.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency project backed by the Trump family, has announced plans to launch a non-transferable governance token. The token will be offered exclusively to accredited investors under an SEC Regulation D exemption due to ongoing regulatory uncertainty in the United States.
During a highly anticipated live audio stream on X, officials and advisors associated with WLFI confirmed that the governance token will not provide any economic rights. Instead, it will be designed to grant holders the ability to participate in the project's governance.
According to the team, 63% of the total token supply will be sold to the public, while 17% will be reserved for user rewards and 20% will go to the project's team. These details were previously reported by CoinDesk, citing a draft white paper.
"Our goal is to build projects that are easy and simple to use, without the need for complex explanations," stated Zak Folkman, one of the project's founders, during the stream.
While the team did not disclose a specific launch date for the token during the nearly two-and-a-half-hour event, which attracted over 100,000 listeners, they emphasized their commitment to providing a user-friendly and accessible platform for cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
Key points from the announcement:
- Non-transferable governance token: The WLFI token will not be tradable and will focus on granting holders governance rights.
- SEC Regulation D exemption: The token will be offered exclusively to accredited investors in the United States to comply with current regulatory requirements.
- Token distribution: 63% of the token supply will be sold to the public, 17% will be reserved for user rewards, and 20% will go to the project's team.
- Focus on user-friendliness: The project aims to create a platform that is easy to use and accessible to a wide range of individuals.
As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, the launch of World Liberty Financial and its governance token offers insights into the growing interest in blockchain-based financial solutions and the ongoing challenges of navigating regulatory landscapes.
