World Liberty Finance (WLFI), a new decentralized finance (DeFi) platform with ties to the Trump family, has officially launched its WLFI token on the Ethereum blockchain. This move marks a major step forward in its mission to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the growing world of crypto.
WLFI Token Goes Live with Community-First Unlock Plan
On September 1, 2025, the WLFI token became available for trading, giving early investors access to 20% of their token allocation right away. The remaining tokens will be unlocked in phases, but here’s the twist: future unlocks will be determined by community voting. This approach is designed to encourage long-term holding and reduce the risk of large sell-offs that can tank the token’s value.
Earlier in the year, World Liberty Finance raised a staggering $550 million through token sales, signaling strong investor interest and market confidence. Notably, the team behind the project has chosen to delay the release of their own tokens to avoid short-term price manipulation and ensure market stability—a move that aligns with the project’s pro-community stance.
USD1 Stablecoin Already Making Waves
Alongside the WLFI token, WLFI has introduced its own stablecoin, called USD1. It launched on Coinbase in August 2025 and is already making a splash in the market with a circulating supply of $293 million on Ethereum. Backed by regulatory compliance and financial transparency, USD1 aims to offer a reliable alternative to traditional stablecoins in the DeFi ecosystem.
The introduction of USD1 strengthens World Liberty Finance’s strategy of building a complete financial ecosystem. By offering both a governance token and a stablecoin, the project is positioning itself to play a pivotal role in decentralized finance—especially for users who want both community control and stability.
A DeFi Project with High Ambition—and High Expectations
World Liberty Finance isn’t just another crypto startup—it’s entering the scene with major capital, political visibility, and a strong roadmap. However, while early hype has driven attention, the long-term success of WLFI will depend on its real-world utility, transparency, and ability to meet regulatory standards.
With both WLFI and USD1 now live, the coming months will reveal whether this politically-backed DeFi venture can deliver on its promises and truly reshape how users interact with crypto and traditional finance.
