Trump Family’s DeFi project World Liberty Financial (WLF) has signaled plans to make its WLFI token transferable, responding to investor demand for a more accessible utility.

Currently, WLFI cannot be bought or sold on exchanges and is locked within users’ wallets. Making it transferable would allow holders to send, trade, or potentially list the token on marketplaces—enabling peer-to-peer transfers and possibly public sales for the first time.

Will WLFI Token Finally Become Publicly Available? 

The announcement comes after months of criticism over the token’s current structure. WLFI has so far been non-tradable, functioning solely as a governance instrument within the WLF ecosystem.

While no timeline or technical details were provided, enabling transfers could open the door to future exchange listings or peer-to-peer trading. This would mark a significant change in how the token is used and perceived.

WLF has previously sold over 25 billion WLFI tokens across two fundraising rounds, raising $550 million. Investors—many of whom include political and institutional actors—currently hold the tokens without secondary market liquidity.

However, transferability could raise regulatory concerns. This is especially given WLFI’s ties to the Trump family and ongoing scrutiny over token sales by politically affiliated entities.

At the same time, making WLFI transferable could bring additional transparency to the token’s price discovery and potentially create broader demand. That is, if listings on decentralized or centralized exchanges follow.

For now, WLF has not confirmed when or how the change will be implemented. Until then, WLFI remains a governance-only token with no open-market trading functionality.
