Trump-backed World Liberty Financial races toward 62 billion token unlock with near-unanimous vote
Proposal introduces vesting for 40.7 billion insider tokens after 2-year cliff, even as voting power remains concentrated among a handful of large holders
What to know:
- World Liberty Financial’s proposal to unlock 62 billion WLFI tokens is on track to pass with 99.5% support and quorum already surpassed.
- The plan would see insiders burn 10% of their holdings and begin unlocking 40.7 billion tokens after a two-year cliff, shifting WLFI to a more predictable five-year supply schedule.
- The vote underscores WLFI’s concentrated governance, with the top four wallets controlling about 40% of voting power, and comes as the project faces a lawsuit from Tron founder Justin Sun over allegedly frozen tokens and lost governance rights.
No tokens would reach the market for at least two years due to cliff periods. The shift marks a structural change in how WLFI is valued, replacing open-ended lockups with predictable future supply and creating a clearer exit path for holders who previously had none.
This move seems to have near-unanimous support, with 99.5% voting in favor.
The vote also highlights the structure of WLFI’s governance.
Participation levels align with prior proposals, suggesting that a relatively small group of large holders can push through major tokenomic changes with limited opposition.
Voting power is heavily concentrated among a small group of large holders. The largest wallet alone accounts for nearly 13% of votes cast, and the top four together control roughly 40% of total voting power so far, enough to heavily influence the outcome on their own.
