Crypto Project World Liberty Financial, Promoted by Trump Family, Confirms Token Launch

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 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.
