World Liberty Financial, a blockchain venture related to Donald Trump’s family, will allow investors to request and trade WLFI tokens starting September 1st.
This launch marks the first time that token holders have access to assets since their previous round of sales from last year.
WLFI unlocks 20% of pre-sale allocation first
On August 22, the company announced that WLFI will debut on the Ethereum Network. According to the rollout plan, 20% of Presale allocations unlock investors who participate in the $0.015 and $0.05 Presale round.
Meanwhile, tokens reserved for founding teams, advisors and strategic partners remain locked as part of their vesting schedule.
WLFI tokens are now tradeable and transferable. This thread is your exact guide: what is happening, when it happens, and what to do – not the case.

WLFI said it will not automatically release the remaining 80% of its pre-sale allocation. Instead, the token holder sets up the timetable through a community governance poll.
The Defi project said it aims to promote long-term engagement rather than short-term sales pressure by linking supply directly to community decisions.
Meanwhile, new investors who missed out on the early rounds will still be able to buy WLFI.
WLFI said it would first list tokens in decentralized exchanges and later add a centralized platform. The project will be naming its exchange partners in the coming weeks.
Prior to this change, WLFI owners were only able to use tokens to vote on governance issues. By enabling transfers, the project creates live market prices that bring tokens to a wider range of retail audiences.
Introducing the lockbox for the claim process
WLFI has developed a wallet feature called Lockbox to prepare for distribution.
According to the company, token holders must activate their wallet through the lockbox on the project’s website before claiming assets. When active, the balance is reset to zero and all WLFIs are transferred to the lockbox. This is the process that companies say is the standard for security.
The Lockbox agreement was audited by Web3 security company Cyfrin, with WLFI highlighting that only the audited code manages the claims.
WLFI said there were pre-sold wallets already pre-screened for compliance, allowing most investors to connect quickly. However, this project limits only a few wallets that were unable to meet the requirements.
WLFI will open the lockbox on August 25th and will give participants a week to activate their wallet before trading begins.
The Trump-related project added that it created a staging window to reduce technical delays and allow all holders to enter the market at the same time when the deal begins in September.
